Question
[112]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "In an old bazaar, a clock repairer named Yusuf sat in a tiny shop filled with ticking clocks. People brought him clocks that had stopped years ago, trusting that he could bring them back to life. Yusuf never hurried. He opened each clock, cleaned every wheel, and listened to its sound before deciding what was wrong. A schoolboy who visited the shop asked why he did not simply replace the old parts with new ones. Yusuf replied that a clock is not only a machine for telling time. It carries the memory of the family that owned it. Repairing it with care, he said, is a way of respecting that memory. The boy began to visit every week, and slowly learned that patience is itself a skill." What did Yusuf do before deciding what was wrong with a clock?
