<u><em>EXPLANATION:

<em>
</em>
<em>The poem cherry tree is about the cherry tree which the poet wants to plant. He sow the seeds and seeds grow into a sapling and then in to a plant. It took eight years for the plant to produce cherry after so much struggle like extreme cold conditions, goat eating leaves of the tree, fungus of the plant etc.,

<em>Metaphor is a figure of speech in which the poet compares two things but cannot be taken literally. Example:’ Ripened and jewelled in the sun’ he tells that the berry is like a jewel in the sunlight which shows us that he admires the fruit but not ‘it looks like a jewel’.
</em>

</em>
<em>Personification means the author's way of behaviour the plant or any non living thing in comparison with a human being. Example: The flower danced in the cool breeze. In this poem it says about the cherry tree. ‘Its arms in a fresh fierce lust’.</em>
this is true as well the text is addressing a specific person or group
Answer: C) subordinating conjunction.
Explanation: a subordinating conjunction is a word that joins a dependent or subordinate clause (a phrase that doesn't have complete meaning on its own) with an independent clause (it has complete meaning on its own). There are subordinating conjunctions that show a relationship between two clauses involving a transition of time or place. In this case, "after" is a subordinating conjunction joining the independent clause "Mrs. Jenkins thanked them gratefully" and the subordinate clause "After the police came to her rescue."
It gives the sense that time is moving quickly and thus creates excitement.
