Question

[1]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a district where many girls left school after Class 5 to help at home, a young teacher named Savitri refused to accept that this was fate. She visited parents in the evenings, not to argue but to listen, and showed them the notebooks of girls who had learned to read medicine labels and calculate market prices. She arranged classes in the late afternoon so girls could finish household work first, and she persuaded older girls who had studied further to teach the younger ones. Within five years the village school had girls in every class up to Class 10, and two of them became teachers themselves. Savitri's work shows that expanding girls' education often requires changing timings, attitudes and examples together, not merely opening a school building." What is the main idea of the passage?

1.
The railway changed India not only by speeding travel but by creating a shared system of time, markets and meeting places.
2.
A harvest festival is an economic and social milestone — marking repaid debts, shared work and hope for the next season — not mere colour and music.
3.
Expanding girls' education requires changing timings, attitudes and role models together, not merely opening a school building.

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of sea level caused mainly by the Moon's gravity, with the Sun's pull adding to it.
