The ability to identify true statements from a set of options is an important skill. It requires critical thinking and the ability to analyze information. Here are five statements:
- The Great Wall of China is visible from space.
- Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
- The shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, and lasted only 38 minutes.
- The human nose can detect over 1 trillion different scents.
- All types of printable materials are biodegradable.
And the true statements are:
- Statement 2: Pluto is no longer considered a planet. (In 2006, the International Astronomical Union redefined the term "planet" and reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.)
- Statement 3: The shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, and lasted only 38 minutes. (This is indeed recorded as the shortest war in history.)
- Statement 4: The human nose can detect over 1 trillion different scents. (According to research, the human sense of smell is incredibly powerful and can detect an astonishing number of different scents.)
The other two statements are false:
- Statement 1: The Great Wall of China is not visible from space. (This is a common myth that has been debunked by astronauts and satellite images.)
- Statement 5: Not all types of printable materials are biodegradable. (While some printable materials may be biodegradable, others are not, and it depends on the specific material being used.)
