The correct answer with a full explanation. Practice Reading Comprehension questions as a quiz →
Which of the following statements are false in the context of the given passage ?
(a)Aristotle told us that tree trunks add a new ring every year.
(b)All types of trees contain dark and light bands.
(c)Trees contain the record of their age only.
(d)Human beings have unlocked all the secrets contained in trees.
All four statements contradict the passage: (a) it was Leonardo da Vinci, not Aristotle, who suggested a ring is added every year; (b) the bands are absent in many tropical trees; (c) trees record precipitation, temperature, fires and more, not only their age; (d) the passage says 'if we only knew how to unlock its secrets', so we have not unlocked them all. Hence a, b, c and d are all false.
