Answer

1. False. The text mentions that the narrator accompanied the shepherd, so he did not leave his house all by himself. “He invited me to come along with him.”
2. True. The text states that out of the one hundred thousand trees planted by the shepherd, twenty thousand had come up. “Of these one hundred thousand, twenty thousand had come up.”
3. True. The text mentions that the narrator met Elzéard Bouffier again after a time span of five years. “The next year the war came, in which I was engaged for five years.”
4. False. The text explicitly states that the forest had sprung from the hands and soul of the shepherd alone, without the aid of technical aids or the villagers. “When I considered that this had all sprung from the hands and from the soul of this one man – without technical aids.”
