Question

[108]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "When the village first received solar panels, many residents expected only that their homes would have light after dark. The change went further: children studied in the evening without smoky lamps, a women's group ran a sewing unit on electric machines, and a farmer charged his mobile phone to receive weather forecasts and market prices. Because the panels needed little fuel and no daily purchase, the village saved money that had gone to kerosene. The engineer who installed the system also trained two local youths to clean and repair it, so the village did not depend on outsiders for every fault. Solar power thus brought not only light but also study, income and self-reliance." What can be inferred from the passage?

1.
A centre of learning flourishes when admission is demanding and ideas are debated openly rather than merely memorised.
2.

Technology lasts in a village when local people are trained to maintain it rather than depending on outsiders.
