Question

[2]. 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." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
Savitri arranged late-afternoon classes, visited parents in the evenings and persuaded older educated girls to teach younger ones.
2.
With trains, a journey of weeks by bullock cart could be finished in days, and farmers, workers and students could reach distant markets, mills and colleges.
3.
Farmers share the first grain with neighbours, invite labourers to eat first, and elders settle quarrels over sweets.
4.
When the Moon is overhead, water bulges towards it giving high tide; when Sun, Moon and Earth line up, their pulls combine into higher spring tides.
