Crawling up the high hill,

luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,

she doesn’t dream

she knows

she is a part of the pond she lives in,

the tall trees are her children,

the birds that swim above her

are tied to her by an unbreakable string.

—“The Turtle,”
Mary Oliver

Which three phrases include words that build the idea that the turtle is connected to the rest of nature?

"she doesn't dream"
"the birds that swim above her"
"she is a part of the pond she lives in"
"tied to her by an unbreakable string"
"Crawling up the high hill"

"the birds that swim above her"

"she is a part of the pond she lives in"

"tied to her by an unbreakable string"

Explanation:

the other two don't relate to nature

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
