Passage:
Established as a game reserve in 1956 and officially opened to the public in 1962, Yankari National Park in Bauchi State, Nigeria, covers an area of approximately 2,244 square kilometres. The park was originally created to protect local wildlife populations from unchecked poaching and agricultural encroachment. Yankari is particularly renowned for its rich population of African bush elephants and its four natural warm springs, the most famous of which is the Wikki Warm Spring. Unlike artificial thermal baths, Wikki Warm Spring maintains a constant temperature of 31°C year-round due to geothermal activity deep beneath the earth's crust. Beyond eco-tourism, the park serves as a critical conservation site for endangered West African mammals and over 350 species of birds.

According to the passage, what was the primary reason for the original creation of Yankari in 1956?

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Established in 1970, the Kainji Lake National Park in Nigeria was formed by merging two former game reserves: the Borgu Game Reserve and the Zugurma Game Reserve. While the Borgu section covers an expansive savanna woodland habitat across Niger and Kwara States, the Zugurma section lies entirely within Niger State and features predominantly lowland rainforest patches. The primary mandate of the park's administrative board was to protect endangered wildlife species, particularly the West African lion and African elephant, from rampant poaching. Unlike smaller wildlife sanctuaries in the region, the park receives its operational funding directly from the Federal Government of Nigeria rather than state-level forestry departments, ensuring continuous conservation operations.

According to the passage, which of the following is true regarding the Zugurma section?

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Established in Kaduna in 1947, the West African Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (WAITR) was mandated to conduct comprehensive investigations into tsetse-fly vectors and human sleeping sickness across British West African territories. Funded jointly by the colonial administrations of Nigeria, the Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia, the institute established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones to monitor vector migration patterns. Following political independence in 1960, the inter-territorial structure collapsed as member states established sovereign agricultural bodies. Consequently, in 1964, the facility was reconstituted as the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (NITR), narrowing its administrative operational focus exclusively to domestic livestock corridors and rural communities within Nigeria.

According to the passage, which of the following is explicitly true regarding the institute prior to 1960?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: It established field research stations in both savanna and forest environments.

Cevap

The institute established field research stations in both savanna and forest environments.
The passage explicitly states that the institute established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones to monitor vector migration patterns prior to political independence in 1960.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the key constraints of the question prompt
The question asks for a fact explicitly true about the institute before 1960.
Literal comprehension requires matching prompt constraints directly against stated textual evidence.
2
Scan the passage for pre-1960 factual statements
The passage states that prior to political independence in 1960, the institute 'established field laboratories in both savanna and forest zones'.
This directly confirms the factual accuracy of the option describing research stations in savanna and forest environments.
3
Verify and eliminate incorrect distractor choices
The options regarding Sierra Leone headquarters and Nigeria-only livestock focus misread explicitly stated locations and timeframes, while the option regarding disbandment due to lack of community interest makes an unwarranted assumption unsupported by the text.
Only facts directly corroborated by the passage text are valid answers in literal comprehension tasks.
