Question

[2]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A health worker visiting a village school found that many children fell ill with stomach infections after the rains. She did not begin with medicines. She showed the children how to wash hands with soap after using the toilet and before eating, how to cover stored water, and why food sold in the open near drains should be avoided. Teachers made handwashing part of the lunch routine, and older children checked that younger ones followed it. Within a season, the number of sick children fell sharply, and attendance improved. The camp's success showed that prevention through simple daily habits can protect health more cheaply and surely than treatment after illness."
