Zorluk: ZorLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the passage below carefully:

The West African Rice Development Association (WARDA), now known as the Africa Rice Center, was instituted in 1971 by eleven West African countries to boost regional rice production. Headquartered initially in Monrovia, Liberia, the association was forced to relocate its main administrative office to Bouaké, Côte d'Ivoire, in 1988 following political instability. Unlike traditional agricultural research bodies that focused exclusively on highland cereal crops, WARDA prioritized indigenous African rice (Oryza glaberrima) and mangrove swamp rice cultivation. In 1994, WARDA researchers successfully cross-bred Asian rice (Oryza sativa) with African rice to create the New Rice for Africa (NERICA), a high-yielding, drought-resistant hybrid. By 2004, NERICA adoption had expanded across eighteen sub-Saharan nations, although seed distribution in the Lake Chad Basin was managed independently by national extension agencies rather than WARDA itself.

Based on the passage, which of the following statements about WARDA is explicitly supported by the text?

  1. A
    WARDA relocated its main administrative office to Bouaké because Côte d'Ivoire provided superior agricultural research facilities.
  2. B
    The association was originally instituted in 1988 by eighteen sub-Saharan African nations.
  3. The distribution of NERICA seeds within the Lake Chad Basin was handled by national extension agencies rather than WARDA.Cevap
  4. D
    Traditional agricultural research bodies prior to 1971 focused exclusively on mangrove swamp rice cultivation.

Cevap

The distribution of NERICA seeds within the Lake Chad Basin was handled by national extension agencies rather than WARDA.
The correct answer is directly corroborated by the final sentence of the passage, which explicitly specifies that seed distribution in the Lake Chad Basin was managed independently by national extension agencies rather than WARDA itself.
