Using the scanning skill, we can see that the first paragraph describes the characteristics

of the tree in detail, including the leaves, so we would pay attention to this paragraph. It

can be seen in the 2nd sentence: “The tree is thickly branched with […], dark green oval

leaves, […]” referring first to the colour, and then to the shape of the leaves, stating that

the leaves are oval. Therefore, “oval” is the answer.

→ Answer: oval
