Question
[118]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "In a desert district, a postwoman named Kamala delivered letters on a bicycle across long, sandy tracks. Her bag carried letters from soldiers, students and migrant workers to families who waited months for news. When mobile phones spread, people said letters would end. Kamala disagreed. She pointed out that a letter can be kept, read again, and shown to grandchildren, while a phone call vanishes. She began to help elderly villagers write replies, holding their hands steady over paper. The village post office still buzzed, not because people rejected phones, but because a letter carried something a call could not: time, patience and touch." Why did Kamala disagree that letters would end with mobile phones?
