Multiple choice

Presently, the scientists engaged in oil and gas exploration can predict fairly the presence of oil and gas inside earth's interior.

Directions: A passage is given below which is followed by some probable inferences based upon the data in the passage. You have to examine this passage carefully and thoroughly and then decide the validity of each of the inferences and give the answer.

Seismology has revolutionized in the field of exploration. Formerly, any explosion was conducted on earth surface for creating shock waves and with the reflection of these waves one could get valuable information about the earth’s interior. It was not easy to analyze seismic data because to get the complete information. It is necessary to perceive comprehensively the various data. Technology has also revolutionized sequentially in the field of exploration and transformed it into a practical science than art. Today, it is easy to get 3D images while in past it was not quite easy to combine even 2D images. Nevertheless these are important verified stake but there are some other resources which help the Geologists to indicate them regarding the availability of oil and gas inside earth’s interior.

  1. If the inference is 'Definitely True' means that it follows properly with the given data.

  2. If the inference is 'Probably True' means that it is not definitely with the context of given data.

  3. If the 'Data are Inadequate' means that you can determine whether the inference is likely to be true or false in the light of given passage.

  4. If the inference is 'Probably False' means that it is not definitely false with the context of given data.

  5. If the inference is 'Definitely False' means that it does not follow with the given data or it is completely irrelevant in context of given data.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The passage states that seismology has 'revolutionized' exploration, making it 'easy to get 3D images' compared to the past, and that 'there are some other resources which help the Geologists to indicate' oil and gas availability. The revolution in technology and multiple verification resources support the ability to predict presence fairly well.
