Discussion
Consider the following statements (A) and (R) and choose the correct option.
(A) : The Prairies are also known as the 'Granaries of the world'.
(R) : Scientific methods of cultivation and use of tractors, harvesters and combines has made South Africa a surplus food producer.
Answer: D
(A) is true but (R) is false.
The temperate grasslands of North America, the Prairies, produce such a large surplus of wheat that they are known as the 'Granaries of the world', so A is true.
Statement R names the wrong region. Scientific methods of cultivation and the use of tractors, harvesters and combines have made North America a surplus food producer. South Africa's Velds are known more for sheep and cattle rearing and for mining, so R is false as written. That rules out both options that call R true, and 'Both (A) and (R) are false', since A is true.
