In an IELTS True / False / Not Given question, if the passage neither confirms nor contradicts the statement, you should mark:
ATrue
BFalse

DSkip the question
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Not Given
'Not Given' is the correct mark when the passage is silent on the statement. Marking 'False' for a silent statement is the classic IELTS trap.
