Discussion
Which of the following statements are true (T) and which ones are false (F) ?
A. The fear of a cyclone loomed large on the family.
B. They had built a shelter for protection against wind and rain.
C. Around the house there was nothing to reduce the impact of a storm.
D. Their drawing room had only three or four chairs.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: A
The key gives T F T F, option 1.
A is true: the family kept a cyclone cellar in case of great whirlwinds, which shows how real the danger was. C is true: no tree or house broke the flat land around, so nothing reduced the force of a storm. D is false: the house was a single room with a stove, a cupboard, a table, three or four chairs and the beds, and no separate drawing room.
B is the weak point. The key marks it false, reading the statement as a built shelter against wind and rain, which the passage does not describe: the only shelter mentioned is the cellar for cyclones, and the house itself had lost its paint to the sun and rain. Option 3 differs from the key only in B, so this item turns on that reading. Options 2 and 4 make C false or D true, which the passage does not allow.
