Question
[4]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.
Passage: A public library is much more than a quiet room full of books. It is a place where a child from a poor family can sit beside a university student and read the same great book. Libraries preserve memory: they keep old newspapers, local histories and the writings of forgotten authors safe for future readers. They also build judgement. A reader who compares two newspapers, a novel and a history book learns to ask who is speaking, what evidence is offered and what has been left out. In villages and small towns, a library can be the only free space for study after school hours. When libraries close, a town does not merely lose books; it loses a shared space for thinking, arguing and dreaming together. Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the passage?
Option 2 : Reading and public libraries has a lasting importance that goes beyond its immediate or obvious effects, and understanding it changes how we judge related choices.
