In fabric pests, which statement is correct?

• A. 1 is true, 2 is false
• B. 1 is false, 2 is true
• C. Both are true
• D. Both are false

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how to judge two statements about fabric pests by checking whether each one is true or false, and then see which combination fits what’s actually known about these pests.

In this item, the correct arrangement means the first statement is false and the second statement is true. That tells you the first claim about fabric pests is not supported by evidence or biology, while the second claim reflects a correct, proven fact or practice.

To think it through, compare each claim to what’s known about fabric pests: their behavior, what they feed on, and how infestations are managed. If a statement asserts something that doesn’t align with how these pests really behave or respond to control methods, it’s false. If a statement describes a real, widely supported fact or a recommended control measure, it’s true. For example, a claim that fabric pests attack only synthetic fibers would be false, while a claim that proper cleaning and storing fabrics reduces infestations would be true. When you’re unsure, test each statement against established knowledge and see which combination fits reality.
