Question

How had the peepal tree grown between two rocks?

• A. The tree had broken a big rock and divided into two.
• B. The seed of peepal was carried by wind and grew between two rocks.
• C. It was grown there by a small family.
• D. None of these.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The seed of peepal was carried by wind and grew between two rocks.

Option B is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'Many years ago, a seed had been carried to the island by a strong wind, had found shelter between two rocks, had taken root there, and had sprung up to give shade and shelter to a small family.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A and C are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because the right answer is Option B.
