Question
[3]. Read the following passage carefully:
Passage: "The old iron bridge over the Kosi had carried carts for eighty years, but engineers declared it unsafe for heavy trucks. Instead of demolishing it, young engineer Anil proposed a different plan: keep the old bridge for pedestrians and cycles, and build a lighter new bridge beside it for vehicles. Older engineers objected that two bridges would cost more to maintain. Anil showed that demolishing and replacing would cost more, and that the old bridge, repaired, could still serve thousands of daily walkers. The town kept both bridges. Anil's lesson was simple: preservation and progress need not be enemies if each is given its proper work." How did Anil answer the objection?
