Zorluk: KolayInferential Comprehension and Deduction

Examine the passage below and evaluate the deduction that follows.

In the semi-arid northern expanse of Jigawa State, solar-powered borehole projects were recently handed over to local committee managers to replace aging diesel pumps. While the diesel units required frequent purchasing of expensive imported fuel that drained community coffers, the photovoltaic arrays generate free energy during peak daylight hours. However, three months into operation, water output dropped significantly during early mornings and late afternoons when livestock demand peaked. Engineers discovered that the village council had opted not to install battery storage banks to save initial procurement costs, assuming daytime pumping directly into overhead tanks would suffice. Consequently, herdsmen were forced to return to shallow hand-dug wells during off-peak solar hours.

Deduction: The shortage of water during morning hours was caused by a mechanical breakdown of the solar panels.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
The deduction is false because the passage explicitly states that the lack of battery storage banks—not any mechanical breakdown of the solar panels—was responsible for the morning water shortage.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the passage to find the reported reason for the reduced water supply during off-peak hours.
The text explains that the council omitted battery storage banks to cut installation costs.
Identifying the explicit cause behind the operational limitation.
2
Compare the factual cause in the text with the deduction made in the prompt.
The text points to a lack of energy storage, whereas the deduction incorrectly blames a mechanical breakdown.
Determining whether the proposed cause is logically supported by textual evidence.
