Read the excerpt from a short story.
The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under construction and he’d be leading them to the first exhibit. His fingers leapt to his name tag as he nervously introduced himself as “Liam, a student of the arts.” Then he bade the group follow him. They traversed a vaulted hall lined with hulking objects, each one obscured by a faded tarpaulin. Some of the items stretched across the floor, others cast long shadows on the museum walls.

Answer and Explanation:
a. The word "it" refers to the root of a tree, which remains even after the tree is cut (receives a knife blow) and is capable of spreading over the entire land (it grows slowly consuming the land), allowing the the tree grow again.
b. A simple knife blow is not enough to kill a tree, as it only cuts off the aerial part of it, leaving the entire underground part alive and ready to grow again.
c. "It" refers to the tree and its resilience, which is the quality that many beings have to renew and grow again even after a strong attack.
