Read the passage below carefully:

The Yankari Game Reserve, situated in Bauchi State, Nigeria, was originally created as a game reserve in 1956. It was later designated as Nigeria's premier national park in 1991, covering an area of approximately 2,244 square kilometres. The park features five natural warm springs resulting from geothermal activity underground, the most famous of which is the Wikki Warm Spring. Wikki Warm Spring maintains a constant temperature of 31°C year-round. Unlike the other four springs—Dimmil, Gwan, Mawulgo, and Nawulgo—Wikki is the only spring that has been developed for tourism and swimming, supplying water to the main safari camp.

Statement: According to the passage, all five natural warm springs in the Yankari Game Reserve have been developed for tourism and swimming.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. According to the passage, Wikki Warm Spring is the only one of the five natural warm springs that has been developed for tourism and swimming.
The statement is false because the passage explicitly states that Wikki is the only spring among the five natural warm springs in Yankari Game Reserve that has been developed for tourism and swimming.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the central claim made in the statement.
The statement asserts that all five natural warm springs in Yankari Game Reserve are developed for tourism and swimming.
Evaluating a literal fact retrieval item requires isolating the precise claim to compare it directly against passage text.
2
Scan the passage for explicit details regarding the warm springs and their development.
The text states: 'Unlike the other four springs—Dimmil, Gwan, Mawulgo, and Nawulgo—Wikki is the only spring that has been developed for tourism and swimming...'
Literal comprehension depends on explicit factual statements provided in the reading passage.
3
Compare the statement's claim with the retrieved text evidence.
Because the text specifies that only Wikki Spring is developed for tourism, the claim that all five springs are developed is directly refuted by explicit text evidence.
Determining the truth value requires verifying whether the passage corroborates or refutes the exact claim.
