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

In 1909, British geologist Albert Ernest Kitson discovered extensive coal deposits along the Udi Ridge in Enugu, Nigeria. Following this discovery, the colonial government established the first commercial colliery at the Iva Valley site in 1915 to supply fuel for the newly constructed railway network connecting Port Harcourt to the interior. The availability of local coal dramatically reduced reliance on imported fuel, powering steam locomotives and maritime vessels across British West Africa. By 1920, the operational workforce had expanded to over two thousand local miners, transforming Enugu from a rural settlement into a major industrial urban center.

Statement: Commercial coal extraction at the Iva Valley colliery commenced six years after Albert Ernest Kitson identified coal deposits along the Udi Ridge.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is True.
The passage provides explicit timeline facts: coal was discovered in 1909 along the Udi Ridge, and the commercial colliery at Iva Valley was established in 1915. Calculating the difference between 1915 and 1909 gives exactly six years, making the statement factually accurate based entirely on explicit text evidence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the year Albert Ernest Kitson discovered coal along the Udi Ridge from the passage.
The text states that the discovery occurred in 1909.
Retrieving the initial discovery date provides the baseline year for calculation.
2
Identify the year commercial colliery operations began at the Iva Valley site.
The text states that the first commercial colliery at Iva Valley was established in 1915.
Finding the start date of commercial extraction allows calculation of the time elapsed since discovery.
3
Calculate the difference between the two dates and evaluate the statement.
Subtracting 1909 from 1915 yields 6 years (1915−1909=61915 - 1909 = 6). The statement claiming extraction began six years after discovery is accurate.
Direct literal comparison verifies the fact stated in the prompt.
