In the section 9:39. The correct answer should be Not given. Why? The passage does not mention whether the moa and the dodo inhabited adjacent habitats. It only states that the moa was widespread in New Zealand.It is possible that they did inhabit adjacent habitats, but it is also possible that they did not.

I would select the Not Given option because there is no information about whether they lived in adjacent habitats. In the text, only it mentioned they listed alongside but no information about their habitats. Can you explain?

(11:18) I don't seem to understand as to why the answer to question 5 is 'false' but the answer to question 6 is 'not given'. The text does not refute the possibility of the moa and dodo inhabiting adjacent habitats. However, question 6 is 'not given' because the text doesn't mention dodo bones being found in significant amounts. What makes question 5 false and question 6 not given, provided that they both share the same characteristic; the text not explicitly agreeing nor disagreeing with the expression.

Why is number 5 FALSE? Listed and inhabited are 2 different things, they're not opposites. The passage didn't mention anything about habitats. So shouldn't the answer be NOT GIVEN?

@Jayesh_Patel18 Жыл бұрын

5th is False because it is mentioned that people can take vitamin C supplement to avoid the risk of scurvy even if they do not eat well. 16:49 Yes, listed and inhabited have different meanings, but as mentioned in the video, do not draw a state line between words. It is False rather than Not Given because the passage says dodos and moas used to have similar habitats in different places but not beside each other, so the question is completely contradicting. 9:30

@valine7425 Жыл бұрын

@@Jayesh_Patel18 Thank you for answering but I don't think it was mentioned there that dodos and moas used to have similar habitats in different places? I am not drawing a state line. My point is that even though dodos and moas were mentioned in the question, the question talks about habitats and that wasn't mentioned in the passage. So I still think the answer should be NOT GIVEN. I hope E2 clarifies this because I really need some enlightenment!

@@Jayesh_Patel18 Thank you for trying to explain but I still don’t understand. The statement “often listed alongside the dodo as a suitable species for de- extinction” meant that both dodo and moa were 2 species considered for genetic extraction and cloning but it did not state about their habitats.

Ex 2 Passage: They are listed as a special species for... Q : They lived together.

At 13:57, we have chosen False for Q8. If looked closely, the Question suggests scurvy as a mild condition caused due to vitamin deficiency whereas the text mentions scurvy as a severe deficiency but it barely talks about scurvy as a condition. In fact, the following text in passage alludes to how it used to be a severe condition but it is silent on how severe of a condition it is in present times. So why didn't we choose Not Given as our answer?
