    followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world and is grown in more than 70 countries. The two main species cultivated are Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are generally considered to have a smoother, more complex flavour, while Robusta beans are stronger and contain more caffeine. Climate change, however, poses a major threat to coffee production, as rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall affect yield and quality. I. Climate change can negatively impact coffee production. II. Robusta coffee has a milder flavour than Arabica. III. Coffee cultivation is widespread across the globe.

    D Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement I is correct. The passage clearly mentions that climate change threatens coffee production by affecting yield and quality. Statement II is incorrect. It says Robusta has a milder flavour, but the passage states the opposite — Robusta is stronger, while Arabica is smoother. Statement III is correct. The passage says coffee is grown in more than 70 countries, showing that it is cultivated widely. Thus, the correct answer is C) Only I and III.
