Zorluk: OrtaLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the passage below carefully and evaluate the statement that follows:

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was established by the Nigerian federal government on May 22, 1973, under Decree No. 24, following the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War. Designed to encourage national unity and reconciliation, the scheme mandates Nigerian university and polytechnic graduates under thirty years of age to participate in a one-year national service. During this period, corps members are deployed to state areas outside their states of origin to foster cross-cultural interaction and social integration. Initially, the program focused primarily on primary and secondary school teaching assignments, but over the decades, it expanded to include health services, agriculture, and rural infrastructure development.

Statement: When the National Youth Service Corps program was first established, corps members were primarily assigned to rural infrastructure development projects.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. According to the text, the scheme initially focused primarily on primary and secondary school teaching assignments, whereas rural infrastructure development was added in later decades.
The statement is false because the passage explicitly indicates that teaching in primary and secondary schools was the primary initial focus of the program, while rural infrastructure development came later as part of its decades-long expansion.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific factual claim made in the statement regarding initial NYSC assignments.
The statement claims that rural infrastructure development was the primary original assignment.
Literal comprehension requires verifying stated timeline details against passage facts.
2
Locate the explicit statement in the passage discussing initial program focus versus later expansion.
The passage states that the program initially focused on teaching assignments, expanding into rural infrastructure only over subsequent decades.
Distinguishing initial facts from later developments is necessary to evaluate accuracy.
3
Compare the passage evidence with the evaluated statement.
The statement directly contradicts the explicit text evidence.
Since teaching was the primary initial assignment, the claim asserting rural infrastructure as the primary initial assignment is incorrect.
