Answer 2

(i) ‘You” and ‘I’ here stand for - the poet and his father.

(ii) The ‘work’ here stands for - construction of a tree-top house.

(i) The rhyme scheme of the poem is - abba.

(i) The Poet of this poem is - Ruskin Bond.

(i) To make the house, the poet’s father took - the poet's help.

Explanation:

• The excerpt above is from the poem 'Grandma Climbs a Tree.' Ruskin Bond's love for his family is depicted in this poem.
• In this poem, Ruskin Bond describes how his grandmother had a penchant for climbing trees since she was a child, and how she could climb trees until she was sixty-two! The only problem was that Bond's family was afraid she would fall one day.
• Grandma can't live without a tree, so she instructs Bond's father to construct a tree-house. As a result, Bond and his father construct a tree-house, and Bond and his Grandma spend hours sitting in it.
