Question

Select the statement that is not true.

• A. The orang-utan reproductive cycle is slow.
• B. Orang-utans have low energy levels.
• C. All orang-utans may not reproduce.
• D. Orang-utans give birth every four years.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Orang-utans give birth every four years.

The passage states that the reproductive cycle of the orang-utans is slow as they are low on energy. The passage also mentions that the reproductive cycle is so slow that the orang-utans may die before they pass on their genes to the next generation and numerous times they don't even reproduce.

As the passage does not mention that the orang-utans reproduce every seven to eight years. So, from the options given, option D) is not true.
