Download Solution PDFIn this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.
A woman in Brazil who received a womb transplanted from a deceased donor has given birth to a baby girl in the first successful case of its kind, doctors reported. It comes after 10 previously known cases of uterus transplants from deceased donors - in the United States, the Czech Republic and Turkey - failed to produce a live birth.
“The numbers of people willing and committed to donate organs upon their own deaths are far larger than those of live donors, offering a much wider potential donor population,” Ejzenberg said in a statement about the results. She added, however, that the outcomes and effects of womb donations from live and deceased donors have yet to be compared, and said the technique could still be refined and optimised.

A -The statement is definitely true
B -The statement is probably true
C -The statement is cannot be determined

C - Statement cannot be determined - This option suggests insufficient information, which is incorrect as the passage provides sufficient details.
D - Statement is definitely false - This option contradicts the passage, making it incorrect.
