The question asks to identify the true statements based on a text by Nadia Bush. Since the text itself is not provided, we must assume that the question expects us to recall facts from a specific literary piece by Nadia Bush. Without the source text, we must infer the correct answer based on common themes or general knowledge if this were a general comprehension question, or if this is a known literary reference, recall the details. Given the options, we need to determine which statements are factually correct according to Nadia Bush's writing.
Since the source text by Nadia Bush is not provided, we have to rely on external knowledge or assume this is a memory-based question from a specific syllabus. Let's evaluate each statement:
Assuming this question refers to a known work by Nadia Bush (e.g., her poem "The House"), statements 2 and 3 are typically accurate descriptions found in such works. The temptation to explore a mysterious house and the presence of natural elements like a tree are common literary devices. Statement 1 (house alive at day) and statement 4 (tree growing faster) are more specific and less universally applicable without the text.
Based on common interpretations of such literary descriptions, statements 2 and 3 are the most plausible general truths about a house and its surroundings in a poetic context without further information.
B) 2 and 3 Only. Without the actual text by Nadia Bush, it is difficult to definitively confirm. However, in many literary works, a poet might be tempted to enter a mysterious house, and a tree is a common feature in a house's surroundings. These are generally plausible statements in a poetic context.
