Hello All, Could you please clarify the answer to me for the below T/F/NG question?

Paragraph: Dosoco recently awarded a grant to Alexia Sloane, a young composer with sight loss, to enable her to attend the sound-and-music summer-school composition course at the Purcell School. Alexia has since gained a place as a composer with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain – the first blind composer to be appointed – and has also been awarded the title of Young Composer of the Year. She was the first female composer ever to receive this honour in its ten-year history.

Question: Alexia now plays several instruments with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.

Answer: False.

My Clarification: I answered this Question as Not Given since the question says ''several instruments'' but in the paragraph, it is mentioned that Alexia is a composer now but not necessarily given details of how many instruments she plays with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. How can the answer be False?

The answer lies in the 'composing' word. She composes music, not plays instruments. So her role has been altered. That's why the statement about her role is 'given' but not true.
