Answer

1. False. The snail sticks close to the grass, leaf, fruit, or wall and does not fear to fall as if he grew there, house and all, together. This is stated in the first two lines of the poem: “To grass, or leaf, or fruit, or wall / The snail sticks close, nor fears to fall.”
2. False. Within his house, the snail is secure and hides when danger is imminent besides storms or other harm besides the weather. This is stated in the third and fourth lines of the poem: “Within that house secure he hides / When danger imminent betides / Of storm, or other harm besides / Of weather.”
