Question

[2]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "For years the old pond at the edge of the village lay choked with weeds and plastic, and its water turned green every summer. Young people in the village, led by a schoolteacher, decided to revive it without waiting for outside funds. They cleared the weeds on Sundays, asked every household to stop throwing waste into the water, and planted grass and shrubs along the banks to hold the soil. A local mason repaired the broken inlet so rainwater could flow in again. Within two rains the pond held water through the dry months, frogs and birds returned, and farmers nearby drew water for their kitchen gardens. The pond's revival showed that a shared pond recovers when the whole community stops harming it and takes small, steady responsibility for it." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
Villagers cleared weeds on Sundays, stopped dumping waste, planted grass along the banks and repaired the inlet so rainwater could flow in.
2.
Heat lifts water as vapour, it cools into clouds, falls as rain or snow, and then flows to rivers, sinks underground or is taken up by plants.
3.
Women sing while transplanting paddy, boatmen sing while rowing, and elders sing at weddings; the songs also carry knowledge about sowing and rivers.
4.
The station orbits Earth in about ninety minutes, and astronauts float because they are in continuous free fall, not because gravity is absent.
