The River: Read The Poem Below Carefully. Then, Answer Question (A) - (D)

Air pollution is a serious issue that negatively impacts both human and environmental health. It causes health problems like coughing and asthma in people. It also leads to the loss of many animal species as polluted air harms wildlife. Furthermore, air pollution destroys the environment through the loss of trees and other plant life. When gases and particulate matter are released into the air from sources like vehicles, factories, and power plants, they can remain suspended in the atmosphere for long periods of time before settling to the ground or being washed out of the air. This exposure to contaminated air has wide-ranging effects, affecting not only living creatures

A nomad, a tremp,
He doesnt chosee any one place
To set up his camp.

And sounds like hes happily
Sucking his thumbs.

Through valley and hill
He twists and he turs,
He just cannot be still.

The Rivers a singer,


As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.

The Rivers a hoarder,


And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.

Hungry and vexed,
Hes gobbled up trees
And hell swallow you next.

Mr. Nobody
I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybodys house!
Theres no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr. Nobody.

He puts damp wood upon the fire,


that kettles cannot boil;
His are the feet that bring in mud,
And all the carpes soil.
The papers always are mislaid,
Who had hem last but he?
theres no one tosses them about
But Mr. Nobody.

Tis he who always tears our books,


Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And cscatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, dont you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.

The finger marks upon the door


By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the urtains fade;
The ink we never spill; the boots
That kying round you see
Are not our boots they all belong
To Mr. Nobody.
