Difficulty: EasyDirect Fact Retrieval

Ground crew personnel must use dry nitrogen rather than compressed ambient air to inflate aircraft tires. Nitrogen gas contains virtually no moisture, which prevents internal wheel rim corrosion and eliminates the risk of tire pressure fluctuations caused by water vapor expansion at cruising altitudes. Additionally, nitrogen is chemically inert and will not sustain combustion if brake heat transfers to the wheel assembly during heavy landing maneuvers.

According to the passage, dry nitrogen prevents internal wheel rim corrosion because it contains virtually no moisture.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is true because the passage explicitly states that nitrogen contains virtually no moisture, which prevents internal wheel rim corrosion.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the portion of the passage discussing nitrogen and wheel rim corrosion.
The text states: 'Nitrogen gas contains virtually no moisture, which prevents internal wheel rim corrosion...'
Direct fact retrieval requires identifying the exact sentence addressing the subject of the statement.
2
Compare the statement directly to the located passage fact.
The statement accurately reflects the explicit causal detail provided in the text.
Confirming factual alignment establishes whether the statement is true.
