Read the extract given below and answer the question that follow:So h...
Explanation:
The extract talks about the process of healing and regrowth in a tree. It mentions that simply hacking and chopping the tree will not be sufficient to ensure its growth. Even inflicting pain on the tree will not be enough. The bark of the tree will eventually heal, and from close to the ground, there will be the emergence of curled green twigs, which are referred to as "miniature boughs".
These miniature boughs have the potential to expand and grow into their former size. However, the condition mentioned in the extract is that they should be left unchecked. This means that if they are not subjected to further cutting or pruning, they will be able to grow and develop to their previous size.
Reasoning:
The key to understanding the answer lies in the word "unchecked". When something is left unchecked, it means that there are no hindrances or obstacles preventing its growth or progress. In the context of the extract, if the miniature boughs are left unchecked, they will be able to expand and grow to their former size.
It is important to note that the extract does not mention anything about the boughs being unhurt, unhacked, or unperturbed. These conditions are not explicitly stated in the given text. The only condition mentioned is that they should be left unchecked.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - unchecked.
