Read the passage below carefully:

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) was established by an Act of the National Assembly in 2003 as a semi-autonomous Federal Government agency under the Federal Ministry of Aviation. Prior to its establishment, meteorological services in Nigeria were administered as a department within the Ministry. NiMet was mandated to observe, analyze, and issue weather forecasts and climate warnings across all sectors of the Nigerian economy. Headquartered in Abuja, the agency operates a network of surface observation stations, upper-air stations, and marine meteorological stations nationwide. In 2019, NiMet expanded its operational capabilities by commissioning automated weather stations at primary airports, ensuring real-time aviation weather monitoring to enhance flight safety.

Statement: According to the passage, meteorological services in Nigeria functioned as a semi-autonomous agency prior to the passage of the 2003 Act of the National Assembly.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. Prior to 2003, meteorological services in Nigeria were administered as a department within the Ministry of Aviation, not as a semi-autonomous agency.
The passage explicitly states that before the 2003 legislation, meteorological services were operated as a department within the Ministry. Semi-autonomous status was only acquired when NiMet was established by the 2003 Act.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the explicit statement in the passage regarding the administrative status of meteorological services prior to 2003.
Found text: 'Prior to its establishment, meteorological services in Nigeria were administered as a department within the Ministry.'
Literal comprehension requires retrieving explicit facts directly from the text without making unwarranted inferences.
2
Compare the retrieved fact with the assertion in the given statement.
The statement claims the service was a 'semi-autonomous agency' prior to 2003, whereas the text establishes it was only a 'department within the Ministry' until NiMet was created in 2003.
Direct comparison reveals a factual contradiction between the statement and the passage evidence.
