Zorluk: ZorLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Established in Kaduna in 1947, the West African Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (WAITR) was mandated to conduct comprehensive investigations into tsetse-fly vectors and human sleeping sickness across British West African territories. Funded jointly by the colonial administrations of Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia, the institute established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones to monitor vector migration patterns. Following political independence in 1960, the inter-territorial structure collapsed as member states established sovereign agricultural bodies. Consequently, in 1964, the facility was reconstituted as the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (NITR), narrowing its administrative operational focus exclusively to domestic livestock corridors and rural communities within Nigeria.

According to the passage, which of the following is explicitly true regarding the institute prior to 1960?

  1. It established field research stations in both savanna and forest environments.Cevap
  2. B
    Its administrative headquarters was located in Sierra Leone.
  3. C
    It was completely disbanded due to lack of interest from local rural communities.
  4. D
    Its operational scope was restricted exclusively to domestic livestock corridors within Nigeria.

Cevap

The institute established field research stations in both savanna and forest environments.
The passage explicitly states that the institute established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones to monitor vector migration patterns prior to political independence in 1960.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the key constraints of the question prompt
The question asks for a fact explicitly true about the institute before 1960.
Literal comprehension requires matching prompt constraints directly against stated textual evidence.
2
Scan the passage for pre-1960 factual statements
The passage states that prior to political independence in 1960, the institute 'established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones'.
This directly confirms the factual accuracy of the option describing research stations in savanna and forest environments.
3
Verify and eliminate incorrect distractor choices
The options regarding Sierra Leone headquarters and Nigeria-only livestock focus misread explicitly stated locations and timeframes, while the option regarding disbandment due to lack of community interest makes an unwarranted assumption unsupported by the text.
Only facts directly corroborated by the passage text are valid answers in literal comprehension tasks.
