Question

[116]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A lighthouse does not guide ships by moving. It stands still and sends a pattern of flashes that sailors recognise from a chart. Each lighthouse has its own pattern, like a signature.

Modern ships use satellites, yet lighthouses still matter where signals fail or batteries die. A fixed light remains a backup when moving systems fail." Which of the following does the passage NOT support?

Modern ships never need lighthouses
