  • A.express its gratitude to it.
  • B.draw sustenance from it.
  • C.draw inspiration from it.
  • D.express its love for it.

Answer: B

The tree presses its mouth against the earth's breast to draw sustenance from it.

The poem calls the tree's mouth 'hungry' and sets it against the 'sweet flowing breast' of the earth. The picture is of a hungry baby feeding, so the tree takes nourishment from the earth through its roots.

Gratitude, inspiration and love are not what a hungry mouth at a breast suggests, and the poem does not state them.
