Question

[112]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A museum of toys in a city keeps dolls, wooden trains and spinning tops from many decades. Children who visit do not only look; they are allowed to play with some old toys and to compare them with today's toys. A wooden top spins by hand, while a modern toy needs batteries — and children notice the difference in patience and skill. Old toys teach that play once depended more on imagination than on power or screens. The museum, therefore, is not a storehouse of dead things but a classroom of how play has changed."

1.

A top spins by hand, while a modern toy needs batteries, showing patience and skill versus power.
