𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 :
📗Start with the statements
📗Locate the experts quickly
📗 Read ONLY the relevant part
🔖Once you find an expert → read 2–3 lines around their name
🔖 Don’t read the full passage
📗 Match meaning, not words
🔖IELTS always uses paraphrasing
🙅‍♂️ If words match exactly, be careful—it might be a trap
📗Don’t match too quickly
🔖 Many answers look similar
🔖Always confirm the full idea
📗 Answers may repeat
🔖One expert can answer more than one question
📗Do easy ones first
📗 Focus on opinions (Very important)
🔖 Matching Features usually tests:
o opinions
o views
o claims
🙅‍♂️Not general descriptions
📗Use elimination technique
🔖 If one expert clearly doesn’t match → eliminate
🔖Makes guessing easier if needed

𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐓𝐒 Answers & 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬: TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN (𝐐1-6)

1. Forty years ago, there were fewer butterflies in Britain than at present.
Answer: FALSE
Why:
Passage says:
“populations of around two thirds of butterfly species have declined in Britain over the past 40 years.”
Meaning: butterfly numbers went down in the last 40 years.
So 40 years ago there were MORE butterflies, not fewer.
** Statement says fewer in past than now = opposite idea.

---------------------------------------------------
2. Caterpillars are eaten by a number of different predators.
Answer: TRUE
Why:
Passage says:
caterpillars “act as prey for birds as well as bats and other small mammals.”
This means many kinds of animals eat caterpillars.
> birds
> bats
> small mammals
So “a number of different predators” = correct.

-------------------------------------------------
3. ‘Phenology’ is a term used to describe a creature's ability to alter the location of a lifecycle event.
Answer: FALSE
Why:
Passage says:
“Scientists refer to the timing of such lifecycle events as ‘phenology’...”
Phenology = time/timing, not location/place.
Statement changes timing → location.
**Contradiction = FALSE

---------------------------------------------------------
4. Some species of butterfly have a reduced lifespan due to spring temperature increases.
Answer: NOT GIVEN
Why:
Passage says:
spring temperature increased by 0.5°C
species advanced by 3 days to a week
This means butterflies changed timing of activity.
But nothing says:
> lifespan became shorter
> reduced lifespan
So no information.

--------------------------------------------------------
5. There is a clear reason for the adaptations that butterflies are making to climate change.
Answer: FALSE
Why:
Passage says:
“The answer is still unknown...”
Researchers ask whether butterflies are coping well or under stress.
So reason is not clear.
Statement says clear reason = opposite.

----------------------------------------------
6. The data used in the study was taken from the work of amateur butterfly watchers.
Answer: TRUE
Why:
Passage says:
data from millions of records submitted by butterfly enthusiasts - people who spend their free time observing...
Butterfly enthusiasts = amateur watchers (not professionals).
So yes, data came from them.
