Question

[113]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "During the final of the school cricket tournament, the captain of the leading team noticed that the umpire had wrongly given out the best batsman of the other side. The crowd cheered, and his own teammates urged him to stay silent. The captain, however, walked up to the umpire and said that the ball had touched the ground before the catch. The decision was reversed, and his team eventually lost a close match. Later, even the rival players shook his hand first. The captain said that a trophy won by silence over an unfair decision would have felt heavier than a fair defeat. His act reminded everyone that rules matter most when breaking them would help you."
