Question

[107]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "When the first trains ran in India in the nineteenth century, a journey that had taken weeks by bullock cart could be finished in days. Farmers sent grain to distant markets, workers travelled to mills and ports, and students reached colleges far from home. Yet the railway also changed how people thought about distance and time: timetables taught punctuality, stations became meeting places for strangers, and newspapers travelled with the morning train. Today, when a train is delayed, the whole network feels it, because millions of journeys depend on one system. The railway is therefore not only transport; it is a shared timetable on which a large country's daily life runs." 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.
Farmers share the first grain with neighbours, invite labourers to eat first, and elders settle quarrels over sweets.
3.
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.
4.
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.
