In the section 9:39. The correct answer should be Not given. Why? The passage does not mention whether the moa and the dodo inhabited adjacent habitats. It only states that the moa was widespread in New Zealand.It is possible that they did inhabit adjacent habitats, but it is also possible that they did not.

see there has been written 'OFTEN listed' in the passage, but in the question is mentioned 'Moa and Dodo inhabited', so here OFTEN is a trap.

I hope the whole team knows how helpful these videos are. I got an 8.5 overall and your mock test videos and tips to approach particular parts of the reading and writing sections were invaluable. Thank you for making the time and effort to create these videos. You guys rock.
huge thank you for your videos, really. you helped me to prepare for the exam by myself and I didn’t expect your contents to be such useful. E2 the best!!
why is the answer to question 5 (in the second practice passage) not "not given"? The passage does not say anything about where the two birds inhabited. It does not say that the two birds used to live far from each other.
My love and appreciation to the entire E2 team (esp. Mark & Jay ), I mostly used E2's materials to prepare for my IELTS. I got my results yesterday and I got a total of 8.0 (speaking 7.5, listening 7.5, reading 9.0, writing 7.5). God bless you all xoxo

Hi E2 Team! I promised myself to come back after I received my official IELTS score. I was sad because on test day there are technical errors on listening test and felt lost when speaking test because the questions are out of the box. Your videos help me so much during less than two weeks preparation to improve so many aspects of my IELTS skills. I received an overall 7 band because of you guys. Thank you very much for all the useful tips and advices, all the best for E2 team and other IELTS test takers!
Thanks so much for this comprehensive explanation. I always struggle with this part of reading test. It helps a lot!
Am most grateful for this. My test is in 3 months time and I believe with your tutorials, I shall get my good score
I have a question. I did not understand 10:26. In the 5th option, it does not show contradictory but you have answered as False. I would select the Not Given option because there is no information about whether they lived in adjacent habitats. In the text, only it mentioned they listed alongside but no information about their habitats. Can you explain?

Thank you guys my results came in and I got a band 7.5 ❤
How elegant your explanation strategy is!!!!!❤
(11:18) I don't seem to understand as to why the answer to question 5 is 'false' but the answer to question 6 is 'not given'. The text does not refute the possibility of the moa and dodo inhabiting adjacent habitats. However, question 6 is 'not given' because the text doesn't mention dodo bones being found in significant amounts. What makes question 5 false and question 6 not given, provided that they both share the same characteristic; the text not explicitly agreeing nor disagreeing with the expression.

Why is number 5 FALSE? Listed and inhabited are 2 different things, they're not opposites. The passage didn't mention anything about habitats. So shouldn't the answer be NOT GIVEN?
@Jayesh_Patel18

5th is False because it is mentioned that people can take vitamin C supplement to avoid the risk of scurvy even if they do not eat well. 16:49 Yes, listed and inhabited have different meanings, but as mentioned in the video, do not draw a state line between words. It is False rather than Not Given because the passage says dodos and moas used to have similar habitats in different places but not beside each other, so the question is completely contradicting. 9:30

@@Jayesh_Patel18 Thank you for answering but I don't think it was mentioned there that dodos and moas used to have similar habitats in different places? I am not drawing a state line. My point is that even though dodos and moas were mentioned in the question, the question talks about habitats and that wasn't mentioned in the passage. So I still think the answer should be NOT GIVEN. I hope E2 clarifies this because I really need some enlightenment!

The statement “often listed alongside the dodo as a suitable species for de- extinction” meant that both dodo and moa were 2 species considered for genetic extraction and cloning but it did not state about their habitats. I need more practice, I guess :((

@@vicecaptainadair8787 As per the passage, "it (the moa) is often listed alongside the dodo as a suitable species for de-extinction," meaning moa and dodo both are listed as potential candidates (special species) for de-extinction. but not as they live beside each other, as the question asks. Ex 2 Passage: They are listed as a special species for... Q : They lived together.

Hi Sir. Where can we find this prep materials. I couldn't find them from e2language platform
Watched a couple of your videos for just three days and I got an overall band of 7.5! The breakdown was Speaking-7.5 Listening- 7.5 Reading- 8.0 and Writing -7.5! I’m so surprised I did well because I was certain I flunked Speaking and Writing even though I took your advice. Thank you E2!
Nice tips. I wonder when we would get to see Alex on our screen again.
Please give information regarding map while listening
Thank you to everyone at E2! Your videos were so helpful. I just got my results L=9 R=7.5 W=7 S=9 Overall= 8 Putting up my results cos those of others encouraged me so much.
I do understand how "once widespread" contradicts "are common", but how come "listed" contradicts "inhabited" or "lived" ? From the text we don't know if these two species lived at the same time or not
Please give tips or strategies for headings

WHY WE COULDNT CONSIDER THE QUESTION 5 (9:22) AS A NOT GIVEN. CAUSE THE SCENTENCE SPEAK ABOUT HABITAT WHICH IS NOT MENTIONED IN THE TEXT
Ielts taker from Uzbekistan ❤
9:48 could you let me know why “Not Given” is not the answer for question number 5? The passage talks about the listing of dodo as a species for de-extinction but nowhere it’s habitat information was given. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong. Thanks!
Awesome❤
When will the class start??
Aside for the obvious mistake in question 5, question 6 could be true? It’s been said in the text that dodos are listed as suitable for de extincion and then they explain with the Mona, that one of the reasons of Mona been suitable for this is it’s large quantities of remains, so, in context, dodo been also a specie suitable for de extincion, would not mean that it also has a substancial quantities of remains?
I think no. 5 should be 'Not Given' because the passage hasn't states thier habitats

Examples tend to be easier than the real test
At 13:57, we have chosen False for Q8. If looked closely, the Question suggests scurvy as a mild condition caused due to vitamin deficiency whereas the text mentions scurvy as a severe deficiency but it barely talks about scurvy as a condition. In fact, the following text in passage alludes to how it used to be a severe condition but it is silent on how severe of a condition it is in present times. So why didn't we choose Not Given as our answer?
