Read the passage below carefully:

The West African Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (WAITR) was formally inaugurated in 1947 following a joint initiative by the colonial administrations of Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia. Established primarily to combat tsetse-fly-borne sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in livestock, WAITR established its chief administrative headquarters and human health laboratory in Kaduna, while placing its veterinary research division in Vom, Plateau State. Although funded collectively by all four participating West African territories until independence, Nigeria contributed sixty percent of the initial capital and annual operational expenditure. In 1964, following the post-independence dissolution of inter-territorial research bodies, WAITR was re-established as a purely Nigerian national entity known as the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (NITR), retaining its operational bases in Kaduna and Vom.

Based on the passage above, evaluate whether the following statement is True or False:
Prior to 1964, the veterinary research division of WAITR was located in Kaduna alongside its administrative headquarters.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. According to the passage, prior to 1964, WAITR's administrative headquarters were in Kaduna, but its veterinary research division was located in Vom, Plateau State.
The correct evaluation is False because the text explicitly states that the veterinary research division was placed in Vom, Plateau State, whereas Kaduna housed only the administrative headquarters and human health laboratory.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the explicit text details regarding the physical locations of WAITR's divisions.
The text states: 'WAITR established its chief administrative headquarters and human health laboratory in Kaduna, while placing its veterinary research division in Vom, Plateau State.'
Literal comprehension requires matching the location specified for each division.
2
Compare the statement's assertion with the passage facts.
The statement claims the veterinary research division was located in Kaduna alongside the headquarters, which directly contradicts the passage evidence showing it was in Vom.
Direct factual retrieval proves the statement is inaccurate.
