Reading the passage
This question could draw on any supported fact about the industry. Let's distinguish what the text actually establishes from claims that merely reuse familiar details, such as carpets, cotton, or wool processing.
Working the answers
- A
Strong wool is used mainly for carpets, but we aren't told where those carpets are manufactured. Producing the raw material in New Zealand doesn't establish a strong carpet-manufacturing industry there.
- B
No governing board is described.
- C
The proposed shift goes away from efforts to improve processing efficiency and toward better raw-wool production. We're also given a recommendation, not a report that this new shift has already begun.
- D
Cotton growers have improved productivity at several times the rate of wool growers. The comparison highlights a difference; it doesn't establish similar growth patterns.
- ECorrect
The first paragraph calls New Zealand the “world's largest producer” of strong wool. Don't confuse that with total wool production, where it ranks behind Australia. The two rankings concern different categories.
