In the IELTS reading test, 'false' and 'not given' are two different types of answers to identify the accuracy of a statement.

A statement is considered 'false' if it contradicts the information given in the passage. This means that the statement is clearly stated in the passage but the information presented is the opposite of what is claimed in the statement.

On the other hand, a statement is considered 'not given' if the information in the passage is neither for nor against the statement. This means that the passage does not provide any clear indication of whether the statement is true or false.

It is important to understand the difference between 'false' and 'not given' because choosing the wrong answer type can affect your overall score in the reading test. To maximize your chances of getting the right answer, make sure to read the passage carefully and pay attention to the details provided in the text.
