Question
[123]. Passage: Palm-leaf and paper manuscripts decay in humidity, insects and neglect, yet they hold medical, astronomical and literary knowledge in languages few now read. Digitisation helps access, but a scanned image without cataloguing, translation and conservation of the original is a fragile substitute.

When a manuscript is lost, it is not one book that vanishes but a lineage of reading, commentary and debate that cannot be reconstructed from summaries. According to the passage, which statement is true?
