Question

[116]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Twice a day, the sea along many coasts rises and falls in a rhythm that fishermen know by heart. This rise and fall, called the tide, is caused mainly by the Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth's oceans, with the Sun adding a smaller pull. When the Moon is overhead, water bulges towards it, producing a high tide; when the Moon is elsewhere, the water spreads out and the level falls. Twice a month, when Sun, Moon and Earth line up, the pulls combine and tides grow higher, which fishermen call spring tides. Understanding tides matters for sailing, fishing and building harbours, because a boat that enters safely at high tide may strand at low tide." What can be inferred from the passage?

1.
When education is fitted to girls' real daily lives, families are more likely to support continued schooling.
2.
A transport network shapes habits and expectations — such as punctuality — far beyond merely moving people.
3.

A sailor who ignores tidal timing risks stranding a boat that entered safely at high tide.
