Question

[123]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "The old market of the town has no shining signboards, yet it never lacks customers. A spice seller can tell by smell whether turmeric is fresh, a cloth merchant folds fabric so its weave can be judged, and a potter taps his pots to prove they are not cracked. Bargaining here is not a quarrel but a slow conversation: the buyer praises, the seller laments his costs, and both leave satisfied when the price feels fair. Young shoppers who prefer fixed prices in malls sometimes find this slow, but the market survives because it sells something malls rarely do — personal judgement, trust and the pleasure of choosing slowly." 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.
The spice seller judges turmeric by smell, the cloth merchant shows the weave by folding, and the potter taps pots to prove they are sound.
