Zorluk: OrtaLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the text below carefully:

Construction of the Kainji Dam across the Niger River in Niger State, Nigeria, commenced in 1964 and was officially completed in 1968. Designed primarily to generate hydroelectricity for domestic and industrial consumption, the dam created Lake Kainji, which spans an area of over 1,200 square kilometers. The primary civil engineering contractor for the project was the Italian consortium Impregilo, while funding was secured through joint support from the Federal Government of Nigeria and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In addition to electrical power generation, the reservoir was intended to regulate floodwaters and improve navigation along the river downstream towards the Niger Delta.

Statement: According to the passage, the funding for the Kainji Dam project was provided exclusively by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
The statement is False because the passage explicitly states that funding was a joint effort between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The word 'exclusively' contradicts the text's explicit mention of joint financial support.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the key claim in the statement
The statement asserts that the Kainji Dam was funded exclusively by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
To verify a literal fact, the specific claim must be checked against the exact wording in the text.
2
Locate the corresponding sentence in the passage regarding funding
The passage states that 'funding was secured through joint support from the Federal Government of Nigeria and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.'
Literal comprehension requires retrieving explicit facts directly provided by the author.
3
Compare the claim with the factual evidence in the passage
The word 'joint' contradicts the word 'exclusively', making the statement inaccurate.
Since two entities provided funding together, claiming a single entity funded it exclusively is factually incorrect based on the text.
