4
Because it was a ceremonial event.
Answer and Solution
Answer
C. Because it represents a violent act against nature.
Solution:
The correct answer is 'Because it represents a violent act against nature.' The word 'massacre' conveys an excessive violence and loss, particularly emphasizing the poet's view on the destruction of nature, rather than a mere act of cutting trees.
