Question

[121]. 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." The word 'editorial' as used in the passage is closest in meaning to:

1.
action taken to stop illness before it happens
2.
the upper layer of leaves in a forest
3.
an article giving a newspaper's opinion
4.
regular payment made to a person after retirement
