Question
[112]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "Before telephones reached the hills, a postal runner named Dev carried letters across a mountain pass every week. He knew every shortcut, every stream that swelled after rain, and every house that waited for news. A letter, he said, was not paper alone; it carried a son's wages, a mother's blessing, or a student's admission. When a landslide blocked the pass one winter, Dev waited, then took a longer route through snow, because a delayed letter could mean a missed opportunity. His work reminds us that communication was once carried by human endurance, not by signals." What did Dev know that helped him?
