Difficulty: EasyParaphrased Fact Recognition

Read the following passage:

In industrial dry-pipe fire sprinkler systems, pipes in unheated areas are filled with pressurized air rather than water to prevent burst lines in cold weather. When a sprinkler head opens in response to heat, the air pressure drops, causing a mechanical valve to open and admit water into the network. Facility maintenance crews must regularly empty the auxiliary condensation drains to ensure that accumulated moisture does not freeze and block water movement during an emergency.

Statement: According to the passage, draining the secondary condensation collection points prevents frozen moisture from obstructing pipeline flow during an emergency.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement accurately reflects the passage's stated facts using synonymous terms: 'draining the secondary condensation collection points' restates 'empty the auxiliary condensation drains', and 'prevents frozen moisture from obstructing pipeline flow' restates 'ensure that accumulated moisture does not freeze and block water movement'.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the specific detail in the passage describing the purpose of maintenance on condensation drains.
The text states that crews must empty auxiliary condensation drains to ensure accumulated moisture does not freeze and block water movement during an emergency.
Identifying the explicit sentence in the text establishes the factual basis for evaluating the assertion.
2
Compare the phrasing in the statement to the factual statement in the text.
'Draining the secondary condensation collection points' matches 'empty the auxiliary condensation drains', and 'prevents frozen moisture from obstructing pipeline flow' matches 'ensure that accumulated moisture does not freeze and block water movement'.
Paraphrased fact recognition verifies that the meaning is preserved despite vocabulary and structural changes.
