Question

[4]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "When the rains failed for the second year, the small school at Rampur lost its only playground to dust. Its teacher, Anita, did not ask for funds. She asked each child to bring one seed, one empty bottle and one question about plants. Behind the classroom they dug shallow beds, labelled every row in the children's own handwriting, and watered the beds with water saved from washing hands. Within months the dusty ground became a living classroom: children measured leaves, counted insects, wrote poems about rain, and argued about why some seeds sprouted and others did not. The garden did not raise examination scores overnight, but attendance rose, quarrels fell, and children who had never spoken in class began to explain their plants to visitors. Anita's garden taught that a classroom need not be four walls; it can be any place where curiosity is watered daily." Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?

Children explained their plants to visitors.

Children labelled rows in their own handwriting.
