Question

[119]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A daily newspaper does more than report yesterday's events. Its front page tells what happened, its editorial page argues what it means, its business page tracks prices and jobs, and its letters page lets ordinary readers answer back. A careful reader learns to separate fact from opinion, to notice what a report omits, and to compare the same event across two papers. In villages where only one paper arrives, the reader who discusses the news with neighbours often understands it better than the reader who merely skims headlines. Reading a newspaper well is therefore a skill of judgement, not just of speed." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
The health worker taught handwashing with soap after the toilet and before eating, covering stored water and avoiding open food near drains.
2.
The canopy shelters birds, fallen leaves feed the soil, and roots hold rainwater so streams run even in dry months.
3.
The postman carried letters from soldiers, money orders from migrant workers and admission cards for students across miles in heat and rain.
4.
A newspaper's front page reports events, its editorial argues their meaning, and its letters page lets readers answer back.
