Question

[2]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a small town famous for its pottery, an old potter named Hari shaped clay on a wheel that his grandfather had used. Every morning he mixed the clay with water, pressed out the air bubbles, and centred the lump with steady hands. His son, who had gone to the city for work, thought pottery was a dying trade. But when the monsoon fair came, buyers from far villages crowded Hari's stall. They did not come only to buy pots. They came to watch the wheel spin and a shapeless lump rise into a graceful pitcher. A young girl asked Hari why he never used a machine. He smiled and said that a machine could copy a shape, but it could not feel when the clay was ready. That year, Hari's son returned and sat beside the wheel. He learned that craft is not only about earning. It is about patience, touch, and the pride of making something useful with one's own hands." Why did buyers crowd Hari's stall during the monsoon fair?

1.
Because Hari sold his pots at the lowest price in the fair.
2.
They came to watch the wheel spin and a shapeless lump rise into a graceful pitcher, not only to buy pots.
3.
Because machines were being demonstrated at his stall.
4.
Because his son had advertised the stall in the city.
