Question

[120]. 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." What can be inferred from the passage?

1.
When a healthy habit becomes part of daily routine, its benefits are likely to last longer than a one-time medicine distribution.
2.

4.
A communication system is valuable not only for speed but for how reliably it reaches the most remote person.
