Question

[112]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a tea garden, pluckers pick only the top two leaves and a bud, leaving the rest of the plant to grow. This careful plucking, done by hand, decides the tea's quality: rough plucking gives bitter tea, fine plucking gives delicate flavour. After plucking, leaves are withered, rolled, fermented and dried — each step timed by experience, not only by clocks. A cup of tea, therefore, carries the skill of many hands and the patience of slow processing. The garden teaches that quality often depends on what is left untouched as much as on what is taken." Why does rough plucking give bitter tea?

1.
Because careless plucking harms the delicate leaves that decide flavour.
2.
Because bitter leaves are older.
3.
Because machines are used.
4.
Because rough hands are dirty.
