Question

[124]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A seed library in a village works like a book library, but it lends seeds instead of books. A farmer borrows seeds, grows the crop, and returns twice the seeds after harvest, so the library grows with every season. Old local varieties, which shops no longer sell, survive in this way. When a drought ruined one crop, farmers turned to the library's hardy local seeds rather than waiting for market supply. The library shows that saving and sharing local seeds can protect both farming and food diversity." Why did farmers turn to the library in a drought?

1.
Because it held hardy local seeds when market supply failed.
2.
Because it gave money.
3.
Because shops were closed for a festival.
4.
Because it lent books on drought.
