Answer 2

The speaker meant to suggest that humans, like trees, must give freely to thrive when he compares humans to trees.  

Answer: B

Explanation

This is based on an excerpt taken from the poem 'The Prophet'.

This is written by Khalil Gibran in 1923.

The poem talks about love, religion, giving, work, marriage, etc.

On talking about giving, the speaker compares to trees as every tree gives its fruits to people and when a tree stops giving, it indicates that the tree is dead.

Likewise, humans are responsible to give to others.
