Q1
Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.
Title: “The Plant”
The office plant
leans toward the window
as if eavesdropping on light.
No one knows
who is supposed to water it.
Its soil is cracked,
a small desert in a pot.
At meetings, we talk
about growth
and quarterly goals.
I take notes
that look like fences.
Then **I pour my leftover water
into the plant
and the leaves lift, barely, as if listening.**
No one notices.
I do.
What is the primary function of I pour my leftover water... leaves lift?
