| Treasure Trove Workbook Answers |
Extract-1
(i) The
poet described a tree, earlier in the poem, as a 'friend of sun and
sky', since a tree benefits in making the air, and atmosphere, around
us, clean, and pure; and because a tree needs sunlight to survive.
(ii) The
line 'What does a plant who plants a tree', has been repeated, since
the poet wants to express the benefits of planting a tree, but in an
question-answer form, so as to create the poem amusing.
(iii) The
benefits of ensuring a cool shade for us in the summer, and tender rain
in all seasons, which are necessary for our survival, are the social,
and ecological benefits of planting a tree, the refers to.
(iv) The
poet calls the tree as 'the harvest of coming age', since a tree gives
us many social, and ecological benefits, which can be enjoyed by the
future generations, in the time to come.
(v) 1. The tree planter, plants cool shade, and tender rain.
2. The tree planter, plants shelter for the birds.
EXTRACT-2
(i) The
person who plants a tree ensures, a cool shade in summer, shelter for
birds, tender rain in all seasons, pure and clean air, a cool gentle
breeze, peace, harmony, comfort, etc, are some benefits of tree planting
referred to by the poet, earlier in the context.
(ii) A
tree planter does civic good, since when he/she plants a tree, it
benefits not only to him, but his neighbours around, as well. A tree
planter also helps in contributing to the country's growth, and
development, as mentioned by the poet.
(iii) According
to the poet, a tree planter holds 'all the growth of our land', since a
tree has many social, and ecological benefits. The poet also says that
the person who plants a tree, also does civic good as well. The poet is
talking about the earth's land.
(iv) I
do not agree with the poet that a nation's growth depends upon the
wealth of trees, since although a tree has many benefits, it still
cannot help in improving the other factors, such as unemployment,
poverty, corruption, etc., existing in a nation.
(v) The
poem holds a lot of relevancy in our times, since many of the forest
are now cut down to build cement buildings, flats, etc. In the
metropolitan cities, there are few to none trees planted, which not only
deteriorates the atmosphere, but also the beautiful sights of greenery
are almost gone.
