Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

On the slopes of Long's Peak in the Himalayas lies the ruins of a gigantic tree. Naturalists tell us that it stood four hundred years. During the course of life, it was struck by lightening fourteen times and the innumerable avalanches and storms of four centuries thundered past it. It survived them all. At the end, however, an army of beetles attacked the tree and leveled it to the ground. The insects ate their way through the tree by their incessant attacks.

A forest giant, which age had not withered, nor lightening blasted, nor storms subdued, fell at last to beetles so small that a man could crush them between his fingers and his thumb.

The passage tells us about:

A) The might of a giant

B) The might of the small

C) The study of Naturalists

D) The Himalayan forest

E) None of these
