Question

[107]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Water never stays in one place for long. Heat from the sun lifts water from rivers, lakes and fields as invisible vapour. High in the sky this vapour cools and gathers into clouds, and when the droplets grow heavy they fall as rain or snow. Part of the rain flows back to rivers, part sinks into the ground to become groundwater, and part is taken up by plants. The same water may later rise again as vapour. This endless movement, called the water cycle, explains why a river can keep flowing even though it constantly loses water to the sea and to the sky." 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.
Women sing while transplanting paddy, boatmen sing while rowing, and elders sing at weddings; the songs also carry knowledge about sowing and rivers.
3.
The station orbits Earth in about ninety minutes, and astronauts float because they are in continuous free fall, not because gravity is absent.
4.
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.
