Question

[119]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "During a kite festival, the sky over a town fills with paper diamonds in every colour.

When strings tangle, neighbours help untangle them, and the festival becomes a lesson in community as much as in flying." What does a sudden gust demand, according to the passage?
