Question 41

The Amazon Rainforest's rainfall is not mentioned.

The extract provides extensive information about the Amazon Rainforest but does not specifically detail the amount of rainfall it receives, even though it mentions that the weather is humid and warm with substantial rainfall.

A) Its total area

The extract clearly states that the Amazon Basin stretches over 2.3 million square miles, making this information explicitly available. Thus, this option is incorrect as it is mentioned in the context of the rainforest's size.

B) Its bodies of water

The text includes information about the Amazon River, which is noted as the second largest river in the world and a significant source of fresh water. Therefore, this option is incorrect since bodies of water are indeed mentioned.

C) Its rainfall

While the extract indicates that the weather is humid and warm with substantial rainfall, it does not specify the actual amount of rainfall experienced in the Amazon Rainforest. This absence of specific rainfall data makes this option the correct choice, as it is not mentioned in detail.

D) Its extinct animals

The extract discusses the hunting of animals and the illegal trade affecting wildlife, but it does not mention any extinct species specifically related to the Amazon Rainforest. Therefore, this option is incorrect because the topic of endangered or extinct animals is indirectly referenced.

Conclusion

The correct answer is C, as the extract does not provide specific information regarding the rainfall amount in the Amazon Rainforest. Options A and B are incorrect because they contain clearly stated facts regarding the total area and bodies of water, respectively. Option D is also incorrect since it references wildlife issues without directly mentioning any extinct animals.
