Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

My grandfather had served many years in the Indian Forest Service, and it was
natural that he should know and like trees. On his retirement he built a bunglow on
the outskirts of the town of Dehra Dun planting trees all round. In the fertile Doon
valley, the plants grew tall and strong.
My grandmother did not mind trees, but preferred growing flowers and was
constantly ordering seeds. Grandfather helped her with gardening, not because he
really liked flower gardens, but he liked watching butterflies and there was only one
way to attract butterflies and that was to grow flowers for them.
My grandfather was not content with growing trees in our compound. During
rains he would walk into the jungle armed with cuttings and saplings, which he would
plant in the forest.
