Dear Simon
"Comparable to" in the paragraph. " same as" in the question.
"True or false" in such situation?
Thank you.

Thanks Simon.

Dear Simon,

In the Official IELTS Practice materials 2 book, general reading practice section 3, there is a question about True, False, Not given which is:
- The average person can name thousands of smells.
In the passage, it said:
- The average person can detect at least 10,000 odours.

I think it's True because:
- name= detect
- thousands of smells = 10,000 odours

But the answer in the book is False. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

@ My, here is the paragraph that you are talking about:
The average person can detect at least 10,000 odours. Being able to identify those smell is another story. If blindfolded, most people can put a name ('roses', 'fish','oak') to FEWER THAN A HUNDRED SCENTS.

The question is :
The average person can name thousands of smells.
the answer must be "false".

Last line: can name = can put a name (fewer than hundreds)
