Question

[118]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a village of weavers, each loom sang a different rhythm. A fast loom made coarse cloth for daily wear; a slow loom made fine cloth for festivals. Young weavers wanted only the fast loom, because it earned money quickly. An old weaver warned them: if no one learns the slow loom, the festival cloth will vanish, and with it the village's name. The village then set a rule — every weaver must learn both looms. Speed fed the family, but slowness kept the craft alive." Which of the following best captures the central point of the passage?

1.
Both fast daily work and slow fine craft must be learned, or the craft's identity will vanish

Young weavers should not earn money
3.
Festival cloth is useless
