Answer: FALSE

1. Cork bark should be stripped in dry atmospheric conditions. Key words: stripped, dry atmospheric conditions

We need to find information about the cork bark being stripped. Following the order of the text, we can see in the paragraph 4, the author mentioned “If the bark is stripped on a day when it’s too cold – or when the air is damp – the tree will be damaged”. Therefore, the bark should not be stripped in damp atmospheric conditions; however, in contrast, it should be stripped in dry atmospheric conditions.

The	answer		is	True.
The	air	=	atmospheric	conditions

Answer: TRUE

1. The only way to remove the bark from cork oak trees is by hand. Key words: only way, remove, by hand

In paragraph 5, the author claimed “No mechanical means of stripping cork bark has been invented, so the job is done by teams of highly skilled workers.” In this sentence, “stripping cork bark” means “remove the bark”. Since the author stated that “no
mechanical means has been invented”, we can understand that they do not use any machines in removing the bark, so it has to be done by hand (the hands of highly skilled workers). The answer is True.

 Remove					=			strip
By	hand	=	done	by	workers,	no	mechanical	means
