Read the passage below carefully:

Benue State, widely recognized as Nigeria's agrarian breadbasket, suffers substantial post-harvest losses in yam production due to traditional storage methods that expose tubers to high ambient temperatures and pest infestation. To tackle this, agricultural engineers from the University of Agriculture, Makurdi, developed low-cost, evaporative cooling structures constructed from locally sourced clay and bamboo. These eco-friendly structures maintain a consistently humid and cool microclimate, extending the shelf life of stored yams from three weeks to over four months without relying on expensive grid electricity. Consequently, smallholder farmers can avoid panic-selling at distress prices during harvest gluts and maximize their seasonal earnings.

Which of the following best summarizes the passage above?

  1. A
    Agricultural engineers from Makurdi built clay and bamboo storage facilities to store yams for over four months.
  2. Locally constructed evaporative cooling units effectively mitigate post-harvest yam losses in Benue State, enhancing farmers' economic stability without grid power.Cevap
  3. C
    Smallholder farmers in Benue State have completely eliminated agricultural losses and now dominate international yam export markets.
  4. D
    Traditional storage methods in Benue State rely on expensive grid electricity that fails to protect tubers from ambient temperatures.

Cevap

Locally constructed evaporative cooling units effectively mitigate post-harvest yam losses in Benue State, enhancing farmers' economic stability without grid power.
The correct response synthesizes the main thesis of the passage—that low-cost evaporative cooling technology solves post-harvest losses for Benue yam farmers and improves their financial outcomes without needing grid electricity—into a concise, accurate statement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the core problem and context in the passage.
Benue State farmers experience high post-harvest yam losses because traditional storage exposes tubers to heat and pests.
Establishing the central issue is essential before evaluating proposed solutions.
2
Identify the solution and its main outcome.
Low-cost evaporative cooling units preserve yams longer without electricity, preventing distress selling and boosting earnings.
Summarizing requires combining the main action with its direct result.
3
Evaluate options for conciseness, completeness, and accuracy while filtering out minor supporting details.
The correct option captures the cause, innovation, and economic impact concisely, whereas others focus on minor details, extrapolate beyond the text, or misread facts.
A good summary synthesizes core arguments without incorporating unnecessary examples or false statements.
