What aspect of Tibetan houses as described in the passage is incorrect ?

  • A.Walls are made of mortar and cement.
  • B.Tin cans line the window ledges.
  • C.Roofs are made of mud bricks.
  • D.They are solidly built.

Answer: A

The incorrect description is that walls are made of mortar and cement.

Paragraph 1 says: 'Walls are made up of stone to waist height and finished off with mud bricks to the roof.' Mortar and cement are not mentioned; the walls are stone and mud brick.

'Tin cans line the window ledges' and 'They are solidly built' both match the passage ('Tin cans lined the window ledges'; 'The houses looked solid'). 'Roofs are made of mud bricks' is a loose reading of 'mud bricks to the roof', which describes the walls; the passage gives the roofs only as flat. It is unsupported rather than contradicted, which makes the mortar-and-cement statement the clearly incorrect one, as keyed.
