Direction (Q1-6): Read the poem carefully and the following given questions.
Our world is always changing,
Constantly re – arranging.
From ocean depths to maintain peaks,
Mother Nature moves and speaks.
While telling stories of our past
She tries to teach us how to last.
Mankind, so smart, sometimes blind
Leaves common sense for behind.
We’re moving fast and living large,
Forgetting she’s rings our bell,
Sending us through living hell.
She can twist our steel, shake any city,
If her wrath you feel, we shall pity.
Yet some who speak on her behalf,
I fear just seek the golden calf.
It’s true, we must treat her right.
Or we will incur a deadly plight.
Treat her with distinction
Or surely face extinction!
