'it gives a clearer view' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the end to two trees' is the wordplay.
'two trees' can mean two substitutions for 'tree'.
'end' says to take the final letters.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tree' becomes 'yew' (type of tree).
'tree' becomes 'ash' (ash is a kind of tree).
The final letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'e'+'yew'+'ash'='EYEWASH'

'in' is the link.
