There is unrest in the forest,There is trouble with the trees,For the maples want more sunlightAnd the oaks ignore their pleas.The trouble with the maples,(And they're quite convinced they're right)They say the oaks are just too loftyAnd they grab up all the light.But the oaks can't help their feelingsIf they like the way they're made.And they wonder why the maplesCan't be happy in their shade.There was trouble in the forest,And the creatures all have fled,As the maples scream "Oppression!"And the oaks just shake their headsSo the maples formed a unionAnd demanded equal rights."The oaks are just too greedy;We will make them give us light."Now there's no more oak oppression,For they passed a noble law,And the trees are all kept equalBy hatchet, axe, and saw.

The following text is adapted from Indian Boyhood, a 1902 memoir by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman), a Santee Dakota writer. In the text, Ohiyesa recalls how the women in his tribe harvested maple syrup during his childhood. Now the women began to test the trees—moving leisurely among them, axe in hand, and striking a single quick blow, to see if the sap would appear. The trees, like people, have their individual characters; some were ready to yield up their life-blood, while others were more reluctant. Now one of the birchen basins was set under each tree, and a hardwood chip driven deep into the cut which the axe had made. From the corners of this chip— at first drop by drop, then more freely—the sap trickled into the little dishes.5 Mark For ReviewWhich choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole? A) It portrays the range of personality traits displayed by the women as they work. B) It foregrounds the beneficial relationship between humans and maple trees. C) It demonstrates how human behavior can be influenced by the natural environment. D) It elaborates on an aspect of the maple trees that the women evaluate.

High up above the open, welcoming door    It hangs, a piece of wood with colors dim.    Once, long ago, it was a wavering tree    And knew the sun and shadow through the leaves5   Of forest trees, in thick eastern wood.    The winter snows had bent its branches down,    The spring had swelled its buds with coming flowers,    Summer had run like fire through its veins,    While autumn pelted it with chestnut burrs,10   And strewed the leafy ground with acorn cups.    Dark midnight storms had roared and crashed among.    Its branches, breaking here and there a limb;    But every now and then broad sunlit days    Lovingly lingered, caught among the leaves.15   Yes, it had known all this, and yet to us    It does not speak of mossy forest ways,    Of whispering pine trees or the shimmering birch;    But of quick winds, and the salt, stinging sea!    An artist once, with patient, careful knife,20   Had fashioned it like to the untamed sea.    Here waves uprear themselves, their tops blown back    By the gay, sunny wind, which whips the blue,    And breaks it into gleams and sparks of light.    Among the flashing waves are white birds25   Which swoop, and soar, and scream for very joy    At the wild sport. Now diving quickly in,    Questing some glistening fish. Now flying up,    Their dripping feathers shining in the sun,    While the wet drops like little glints of light,30   Fall pattering backward to the parent sea.    Gliding along the green and foam-flecked hollows,    Or skimming some white crest about to break,    The spirits of the sky deigning to stoop    And play with ocean in a summer mood.35   Hanging above the high, wide open door,    It brings to us in quiet, firelit room,    The freedom of the earth's vast solitudes,    Where heaping, sunny waves tumble and roll,    And seabirds scream in wanton happiness.7Which statement provides the best objective summary of the poem?
