c. Read the text and answer the questions below. (5 points)
Bananas
Bananas are widely believed to grow on trees: this is incorrect. The banana is a
plant which finishes all its growth in one year, reaching a height of 30 feet.
Bananas have a subterranean stem from which come large, green leaves.
The plant reaches its maturity in about 18 months. As the bunches of bananas
mature and the fruit develops, they can be propped up with poles and covered
with blue polyethylene bags. These bags prevent bruising, protect against the frost
and speed ripening by increasing heat and humidity.
Once the banana plant has produced its fruit, the mother plant dies and is
replaced by pups sucker plants. These grow next to the parent and make a new
generation of banana plants.

Questions:
1. Do the bananas grow on trees?
2. How high can the banana plant reach?
3. How long does it take the banana plant to reach its maturity?
4. What are blue polyethylene bags used for?
5. What happens when the banana plant has produced its fruit?
