Question

[115]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

Passage: In Bhagalpur, known as the silk city, weaving is not a factory process but a household rhythm. A weaver sits at a wooden loom before dawn, throwing the shuttle back and forth while patterns of tussar and mulberry silk slowly emerge from plain thread. Each design carries memory: motifs learned from a parent, colours chosen for a festival, a border that marks a community's taste. Power looms can copy a pattern faster and cheaper, yet they cannot copy the slight unevenness of a handloom, which buyers prize as proof of human touch. Weavers today face rising yarn prices, middlemen who take most of the profit, and young people leaving the loom for city jobs. Saving this craft means paying fairly for slowness, skill and heritage.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

1.
A weaver sits at a wooden loom before dawn, throwing the shuttle back and forth while silk patterns emerge.
2.
Early maps sometimes filled unknown lands with pictures of monsters and guessed at coastlines.
3.
Cooled lava breaks down over centuries into rich, fertile soil that farmers prize.
4.
Keepers cleaned the great lens, trimmed the wick and watched through the night that the lamp never went out.
