The correct answers are-:

  • 23.  In this poem by George Pope Morris, the poet wants to protect the tree because the tree had sheltered him when he was young. The tree is very dear to his heart and he feels attached to the tree as if the tree is his true friend. Earlier the tree had protected and sheltered him and he felt that now was the time when he had to do the same which was to protect the tree from cutting down.
  • 24. The tree was planted by the poet's forefather. This made him feel more attached to the tree as it was planted by his ancestor or family member, so as a descendant of his forefather, it was his duty to protect the tree.
  • The two pairs of rhyming words are-

        (i) hand and stand

        (ii) cot and not

So here the first pair is rhyming as both the words are ending with "and". The second pair is rhyming as both the words end with "ot".
