Question 8: In this question, a passage is given followed by a statement. Read the passage carefully and judge the statement based on the given passage.Using knives and shears, a pair of Russian space walkers on Tuesday cut samples of material around a mysterious hole in a Soyuz spacecraft docked on the International Space Station that a Moscow official suggested could have been deliberately sabotaged. The 2 mm cavity on the Soyuz spaceship docked at the ISS caused an air leak detected in August, two months after the craft’s last voyage. Roscosmos space agency said the aim was to discover whether the small but dangerous hole had been made on Earth or in space, to cut away the insulation covering the hole, take out a sample of the material around it to analyse and put new insulation over the area. Roscosmos chief stated that an investigation had ruled out a manufacturing error.
The veteran cosmonauts struggled but eventually succeeded in their mission. Before this spacewalk, astronauts had only been able to examine the hole from inside the spacecraft. What made it especially hard is that the Soyuz spacecraft, unlike the ISS, was not designed to be repaired in spacewalks and has no outside railings for astronauts to hold onto.

Statement: The mysterious hole in the Soyuz spacecraft is not due to manufacturing error.
Choose the appropriate one from the following options
A – The statement is definitely true.
B – The statement is probably true.
C – The statement cannot be determined.
D – The statement is definitely false.
