What do you understand by "rootless weeds" a)living in poverty b)orphans c)homeless or d)undernourished and withered.

Dear Student,

It is a simile and a metaphorical comparison, to support the fact of 'unwanted-ness' and 'not belonging' to society. The children in the slum are rootless--because they do not belong.

The answer could be either b)orphans or c) homeless depending on the context. 

Upon critical analysis: Orphans are at times adopted but humanity doesn't seem to be wanting homeless people hence, the answer seems to be Homeless

 

Regards
