  1. 1

    A Matura reading text says: "The museum opens at 10 am on weekdays." A question asks: "The museum is open at 9 am on Saturdays." The answer is:

    • ATrue — the museum is open from 9 am
    • BFalse — the text says 10 am on weekdays
    • CNot Stated — there is no information about weekend hoursCorrect
    • DTrue — museums are usually open early
    Why this answer?

    The text mentions weekday hours only (10 am on weekdays). It does not give any information about Saturday hours. Therefore the answer is "Not Stated" — we cannot determine if the Saturday information is true or false based on what the text says.
