Read the passage below carefully and evaluate the statement that follows.

Located on the Oshie Ridge of the Sankwala Mountains in Cross River State, Nigeria, the Obudu Cattle Ranch was established in 1951. The idea was originally conceived by M. McCaughey, a Scottish rancher who explored the plateau in 1949 along with Hugh Jones and Dr. Crawfield. Perched at an altitude of over 1,500 metres above sea level, the plateau offers a temperate climate distinct from the tropical heat of surrounding lowlands. Cattle breeding began shortly after land acquisition, transforming the highland into a major agricultural hub before its later evolution into a mountain resort.

Statement: M. McCaughey first explored the Sankwala Mountains plateau in 1951.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is False. According to the text, M. McCaughey explored the plateau in 1949, while 1951 was the year the Obudu Cattle Ranch was established.
The text explicitly states that M. McCaughey explored the plateau in 1949, while 1951 was the year the Obudu Cattle Ranch was officially established.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the explicit mentions of dates and events regarding M. McCaughey in the text.
The text states McCaughey 'explored the plateau in 1949' and that the ranch 'was established in 1951'.
Literal fact retrieval requires matching stated dates directly with their corresponding events.
2
Compare the year given in the statement (1951) with the year stated in the passage for exploration (1949).
The year 1951 refers to establishment, not initial exploration.
Evaluating true/false accuracy requires verifying date-action alignment.
