Zorluk: OrtaInferential Comprehension and Deduction

Read the passage below carefully and determine whether the statement that follows is True or False based on logical deduction from the text.

Passage:
For decades, pastoralists in Garissa County relied on informal trade networks to sell raw camel milk, enduring frequent spoilage due to high ambient temperatures and protracted transport times to urban hubs like Nairobi. The recent establishment of solar-powered chilling hubs by local dairy cooperatives has transformed this traditional supply chain. By decentralizing cold storage across remote collection points, pastoralist women—who predominantly manage milk harvesting—can now preserve raw milk within hours of milking. Additionally, cooperative agreements with commercial distributors have guaranteed fixed purchase volumes, mitigating the seasonal price volatility that historically depleted pastoral incomes during dry spells. However, while milk spoilage has dropped by nearly sixty percent, regional transport infrastructure remains vulnerable to heavy seasonal flooding, which periodically disrupts the transit of chilled milk containers to distant markets. Consequently, during intense rainy seasons, local cooperatives are forced to convert surplus milk into long-life fermented products to avoid financial loss, indicating that technological adaptation at the collection level has not entirely insulated pastoralists from broader infrastructural vulnerabilities.

Statement: Based on the passage, the primary cause of financial risks faced by dairy cooperatives during heavy rainy seasons is a significant decline in daily milk production.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False. The passage shows that milk supply during rainy seasons remains high (resulting in a surplus), and that financial risks arise from flooded transport infrastructure delaying distribution to markets.
The evaluation of 'False' is correct because the passage attributes financial vulnerability during rainy periods to flooded roads disrupting transport to distant markets. It explicitly mentions the presence of 'surplus milk', confirming that milk harvesting volumes remain strong rather than declining.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the statement's claim regarding the cause of wet-season financial risks.
The statement claims that financial risks are caused by a 'significant decline in daily milk production'.
Identifying the central claim allows for targeted verification against textual evidence.
2
Locate relevant evidence in the passage regarding rainy seasons and financial losses.
The passage states that regional transport infrastructure is vulnerable to heavy seasonal flooding, disrupting transit to distant markets and forcing cooperatives to process 'surplus milk' into fermented goods to avoid financial loss.
Comparing textual facts with the statement determines whether the logical deduction holds true.
3
Deduce the true cause and evaluate validity.
Since there is surplus milk and the bottleneck is transport infrastructure, attributing financial risk to a decline in production is an unwarranted inference contradicted by the text.
Valid deductions must accurately reflect the implicit and explicit causes presented by the author.
