Based on the passage:
Cattle from the nearby villages came to the common ground to graze, and there was still a cool freshness in the air. Hori took several deep breaths and thought of sitting down for a while, since he'd be dying of heat in the scorching 'loo' wind the rest of the day. A number of farmers were eager to lease this bit of land and had offered a good price, but Rai Sahib—God bless him—had plainly told them it was reserved for grazing and would not be relinquished for any price. If he'd been one of those selfish Zamindars, he'd have said the cattle could go to hell, that there was no reason for him to miss the chance to make a little money. But the Rai Sahib still held to the old values, feeling that any landlord who didn't look after his tenants was less than human.

Which of the following conclusions is/are correct?
1. All landlords essentially have some goodness trapped within them.
2. The common grazing grounds of a village are intended for use by the cattle of that village.
3. Landlords who believe in tradition tend to be more concerned about their tenants.
4. Winds later in the day tend to be cooler post the hot winds of the morning.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: (d) 2 only Let's analyze the statements based on the passage about Hori and Rai Sahib. Statement 1 is incorrect because the land was explicitly reserved for grazing, not farmed, but the text does not imply all landholdings of Rai Sahib were uncultivated. Statement 2 is incorrect because the passage highlights that Rai Sahib refused to lease the land for money unlike selfish zamindars, showing he was not greedy. Statement 3 is incorrect because the text explicitly states farmers 'had offered a good price', so it can be ascertained he could have made money. Statement 4 is not in the list, but let's check statement 2: 'The common grazing grounds of a village are intended for use by the cattle of that village' is directly supported by 'Cattle from the nearby villages came to the common ground to graze'. Statement 3 is also incorrect because Rai Sahib upholding old values does not substantiate a universal claim about all traditional landlords. Thus, only conclusion 2 is correct.
