Question

[118]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Every Sunday, a weekly market in a small town turns a dusty ground into a noisy, colourful exchange. Farmers bring vegetables picked at dawn, potters bring earthen pots, and tailors mend clothes at the edge of the crowd. Prices are not fixed by boards but by bargaining, and regular customers are greeted by name. Children come as much for the crowd and the smells as for shopping. The market is more than a place to buy: it is where news travels, neighbours meet, and a farmer learns what the town will need next week. Its strength lies not in its size but in the trust built by weekly meeting." What is the main idea of the passage?
