Question

[2]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a small primary school in Bihar, the head teacher noticed that children could read their textbooks aloud but rarely picked up any other book. Instead of scolding them, she cleared one corner of a classroom, placed a low shelf there and filled it with picture books, folk tales and old magazines collected from teachers' homes. Children were free to borrow one book at a time and to sit in the corner during lunch. At first only a few came, but when two boys began retelling stories to their friends, the corner filled up. Within months the children themselves kept a simple register, repaired torn pages with tape and asked their parents for more books. The corner did not change the syllabus, yet it changed the children's attitude: reading stopped being only homework and became something they chose to do." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
Ramu grows paddy in the monsoon, wheat in the cool dry season, and pulses between them to restore nitrogen to the soil.
2.
The captain told the umpire that the ball had touched the ground before the catch, so the wrong decision against the rival batsman was reversed.
3.
