Question

[119]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A beginner at chess often tries to capture as many pieces as possible, yet a good player thinks differently: every move is judged by what it allows the opponent to do next. Sacrificing a pawn to open a file for a rook, or giving up a piece to expose the enemy king, can win a game that greedy capturing would lose. Patience matters too; a player who waits for the right moment to attack often defeats a player who attacks at once. Chess therefore teaches a habit that applies beyond the board: judge an action not by its immediate gain but by the position it creates." According to the passage, which of the following is true?

1.
A player may sacrifice a pawn to open a file for a rook or give up a piece to expose the enemy king.
2.
Savitri arranged late-afternoon classes, visited parents in the evenings and persuaded older educated girls to teach younger ones.
3.
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.
4.
Farmers share the first grain with neighbours, invite labourers to eat first, and elders settle quarrels over sweets.
