The following should be the difficulty level of this passage in my opinion.

Question #1: 700 Level
Question #2: 550
Question #3: 450-500
Question #4: 500

Overall: 500-550 (Easy)

Cheers

1. Based on information in the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Australia has moved from one hemisphere to the other over time.- stated in para 1.
B. Most Australian plant species remain undiscovered.- stated in para 3.
C. Important information is being gathered by studying Australian plants.- stated in para 3 (worldwide importance).
D. Australian rainforests are different from other rainforests. The correct answer. Rainforests are mentioned in para 4, but no where it is said that Australian rainforests are different form other ones.
E. Dinosaurs had once existed in what is now Australia- stated in para 4.


Yes that's my observation aswell.

1. Based on information in the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Australia has moved from one hemisphere to the other over time.
B. Most Australian plant species remain undiscovered.
C. Important information is being gathered by studying Australian plants.
D. Australian rainforests are different from other rainforests.
E. Dinosaurs had once existed in what is now Australia

In my opinion the answer has to be relooked. It is supposed to be D. Even though the para does mentions about rainforests, it doesn't mention anything about how they are different from other rainforests.
Current answer which is B, is clearly stated in the passage by the words " Yet they estimate that about 7,000 undiscovered plant species still exist in Australia".

Official Explanation


1. Based on information in the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

Difficulty Level: 700

Explanation

Keeping the author‘s main points and your own map in mind, look for an answer choice which directly conflicts. (B) is false based on the passage. If researchers have listed 18,000 species and believe that 7,000 remain undiscovered, then the majority of the species have been discovered.

(A): Opposite. This is discussed in Paragraph 1.

(B): The correct answer

(C): Opposite. Species of ―worldwide importance‖ are mentioned in Paragraph 3.

(D): Opposite. This is also mentioned in Paragraph 3.

(E): Opposite. This is discussed in Paragraph 4.

Answer: B
