Zorluk: ZorLiteral Comprehension and Fact Retrieval

Read the passage below carefully:

Established in December 1964 in Ibadan, Oyo State, the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) was mandated to improve the production and quality of cocoa, cashew, kola, coffee, and tea. Prior to its establishment, research activities were conducted under the West African Cocoa Research Institute sub-station at Tafo, Ghana. Although CRIN succeeded in developing high-yielding, disease-resistant cocoa varieties, funding shortages in the late 1990s hindered large-scale distribution of seed pods to local farmers. Crucially, while CRIN supervised nurseries across six geopolitical zones, the actual field propagation of hybrid cashew seedlings remained exclusively confined to its headquarters nursery in Ibadan until 2005, when satellite nurseries in Kabba and Ochaja received authorization to commence distribution.

Based on the passage above, evaluate whether the following statement is True or False: Satellite nurseries outside Ibadan were authorized to propagate and distribute hybrid cashew seedlings prior to 2005.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False because the text explicitly indicates that field propagation of hybrid cashew seedlings was strictly restricted to the Ibadan headquarters nursery until 2005.
The statement is false because the passage explicitly states that field propagation of hybrid cashew seedlings was exclusively confined to the Ibadan headquarters nursery until 2005, at which point satellite nurseries in Kabba and Ochaja were authorized.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the specific sentence in the passage dealing with cashew seedling propagation and satellite nurseries.
Found the clause stating that 'the actual field propagation of hybrid cashew seedlings remained exclusively confined to its headquarters nursery in Ibadan until 2005, when satellite nurseries in Kabba and Ochaja received authorization to commence distribution.'
Fact retrieval requires extracting the precise sentence governing the conditions and timeline of seedling distribution.
2
Compare the statement's claim ('prior to 2005') with the explicit facts in the text.
The text states that authorization for satellite nurseries outside Ibadan occurred in 2005, and that propagation was strictly confined to Ibadan prior to that year.
Verifying literal accuracy requires aligning temporal bounds and location restrictions with the passage.
3
Conclude the truth value.
The statement directly contradicts the explicit passage factual evidence, making it False.
Statements directly contradicted by explicit textual evidence must be evaluated as False.
