Question

[107]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A forest is much more than a collection of trees. Its canopy shelters birds, its fallen leaves feed the soil, and its roots hold rainwater so that streams run even in dry months. When a patch of forest is cleared for a single crop, the soil is exposed to sun and rain, the stream nearby often dries up, and animals that depended on many kinds of plants disappear. Replanting one kind of tree does not restore the forest, because a forest works through variety: different plants, animals and fungi support each other. Protecting a forest therefore means protecting a whole web of life, not merely counting trees." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
The canopy shelters birds, fallen leaves feed the soil, and roots hold rainwater so streams run even in dry months.
2.
The health worker taught handwashing with soap after the toilet and before eating, covering stored water and avoiding open food near drains.

The schoolboy asked why a train whistle changes as it passes and why the sky looks blue at noon and red at sunset.
