    Do you think that the poet's perception of the benefits of planting a tree is realistic? Why?
    Ans : The poet's perception is realistic to a large extent. No doubt, if a tree is planted in favourable climatic conditions and is looked after with positive intent, it can be advantageous on all counts, for generations of people. However, in an age when a large quantum of natural resources is spoilt for material comfort and pleasure, and people are not keen to devote time to rearing trees, the poet's perception sounds very idealistic.
