Read the passage below carefully:

The West African Rice Development Association (WARDA), now known as the Africa Rice Center, was established in 1971 by eleven West African countries with the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). Headquartered initially in Monrovia, Liberia, WARDA was created to assist West African nations in attaining self-sufficiency in rice production. Unlike regional agencies funded exclusively through private investments, WARDA received its financial backing through contributions from member states and international donor organizations. In 2009, the organization officially adopted the name Africa Rice Center and relocated its main headquarters temporarily to Cotonou, Benin, following political instability in Côte d'Ivoire, where it had moved its headquarters in 1988.

Statement: Based on the passage, WARDA received its financial backing exclusively from private investments.

Is the statement above True or False?

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
The statement is false because the passage explicitly states that WARDA was funded by member state contributions and international donor organizations, directly contrasting it with agencies that rely on private investments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the explicit passage text regarding WARDA's financial backing.
The text states: 'Unlike regional agencies funded exclusively through private investments, WARDA received its financial backing through contributions from member states and international donor organizations.'
Literal comprehension requires retrieving facts directly expressed in the passage without drawing unwarranted assumptions.
2
Compare the statement claims with the retrieved factual evidence.
The statement asserts that WARDA was funded exclusively from private investments, which directly contradicts the text's explicit mention of member state and donor organization funding.
Verifying statement accuracy against direct text evidence determines whether the statement is true or false.
