Read the passage below carefully:

In response to the rapid spread of the swollen-shoot virus disease that threatened West African cocoa yields in the late 1930s, the West African Cocoa Research Institute (WACRI) was officially established at Tafo, Ghana, in 1944. Operating as an inter-territorial organization serving both British West African colonies and independent local farming cooperatives, WACRI was mandated to investigate cocoa plant pathology, soil fertility, and pest management. Although initial efforts focused primarily on eradication by felling infected trees, the institute established an entomology section in 1947 to study mealybugs, which had been identified as the primary vectors transmitting the virus. Contrary to regional agricultural reports claiming that chemical sprays were deployed immediately upon WACRI's inception, systemic insecticides were not experimentally introduced into field trials until 1951.

Based on the passage, evaluate the following statement: Field testing of systemic insecticides began in the same year that the West African Cocoa Research Institute established its entomology section.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False.
The correct evaluation is False because the passage explicitly differentiates the dates: WACRI established its entomology section in 1947, whereas systemic insecticides were introduced into field trials four years later in 1951.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the sentence in the passage referring to the establishment of the entomology section.
The text states that WACRI 'established an entomology section in 1947'.
To verify the exact year when the entomology section was formed.
2
Locate the explicit fact regarding the field testing of systemic insecticides.
The text explicitly notes that 'systemic insecticides were not experimentally introduced into field trials until 1951'.
To identify the exact year when field testing of systemic insecticides commenced.
3
Compare the two dates retrieved directly from the text.
1947 (entomology section establishment) does not equal 1951 (systemic insecticide field trials).
To determine whether both events occurred in the same year as asserted by the statement.
