it is grown in well-defined tropical limits
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that the coffee tree 'is grown in well-defined tropical limits' and defines the 'coffee belt of the world' as lying between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. The claim uses slight rewording ('coffee belt' instead of 'well-defined tropical limits') but accurately captures the relationship stated in the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — The quote is unfaithful: the exact statement in the passage is 'it is grown in well-defined tropical limits,' which does not explicitly mention the 'coffee belt' object in the claim. While the passage does state 'The coffee belt of the world lies between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn,' the quoted text does not directly support the specific claim that the coffee tree 'is grown in [the] coffee belt.' The quote should be either 'The coffee belt of the world lies between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn' or a passage that explicitly connects the tree's growth to the belt, or the object should be changed to 'well-defined tropical limits' to match the actual quote provided.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the opening sentence of the passage: 'A study of the geographical distribution of the coffee tree shows that it is grown in well-defined tropical limits.' The wording matches the passage exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as a general statement about geographical distribution without attributing it to a named source). The stance is 'asserts' which matches the passage's declarative presentation. The sentiment is neutral, appropriate for the factual, descriptive tone. The time qualifiers are all null, which is correct since the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this claim. The context is empty, which is appropriate as the passage does not restrict this to a particular sense of coffee tree. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.
