Difficulty: EasyDrawing Inferences and Deductions from Unseen Passages

Read the unseen poem extract below carefully:

The old weaver puts down his shuttle at dawn,
His tired eyes fix on the unspun thread;
The loom stands still, the hearth fire is gone,
Yet a gentle smile touches his weary head.

Based on the extract above, is the following statement true or false? "The weaver has completed all of his weaving tasks for the day."

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. The extract mentions 'unspun thread', which indicates that the weaver's work is not fully completed.
The deduction is False because the poem explicitly states that thread remains unspun, showing that the weaver's tasks are incomplete.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify key textual evidence regarding the weaver's progress.
The poem specifically mentions 'unspun thread' remaining at the loom.
Checking details about the raw materials helps determine if the task was completed.
2
Deduce whether all weaving tasks are finished based on the evidence.
Since there is still thread left unspun, the weaving tasks are incomplete.
Claiming that all work is completed directly contradicts the presence of unspun thread.
