Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options :

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

The tree presses its mouth against the sweet earth’s flowing breast to

The correct option is draw sustenance from it.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the Poem's Imagery:
In the lines "A tree whose hungry mouth is prest / Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast", the poet uses personification to describe the tree as a child drinking milk from its mother.

2. Understand the Symbolism:
The "hungry mouth" represents the roots of the tree absorbing water and essential nutrients from the earth (the "sweet flowing breast").

3. Logical Deduction:
Feeding or taking nourishment to satisfy hunger means to draw sustenance. Therefore, the tree presses its mouth against the earth to draw sustenance from it.
