Question
[111]. Passage: Early vaccination campaigns faced rumour, religious objection and distrust of distant authorities, yet they succeeded where local leaders, clear explanation and visible results combined. Smallpox was not defeated by a single decree but by house-to-house work, record-keeping, and adaptation to local customs. Failures often traced to coercion without communication or to supply gaps that bred cynicism. The history therefore teaches a practical lesson: trust is built by reliability, respect and repeated contact, and once lost it is harder to restore than any cold chain. According to the passage, which statement is true?
