Question

[116]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Every winter, birds that nested in Siberia arrive at Indian wetlands, having flown thousands of kilometres over mountains and seas. They do not fly at random: they follow ancient routes, rest at the same lakes, and use the Sun, stars and the Earth's magnetic field to navigate. At the wetland they feed, moult and grow strong before the long return journey in spring. If a wetland is drained or polluted, the birds lose not only a resting place but a link in a chain that spans continents. Protecting migratory birds therefore means protecting the whole chain of wetlands along their route, in many countries at once." 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.
3.

4.
Art that meets people where they live is likely to reach audiences who never enter a formal theatre.
