Which of the following is true according to the passage?Most people think cockroaches are disgusting. And if you’ve ever turned on a kitchen light, to find them skittering for dark corners, you probably agree. But of the thousands of species out there, only a few can be considered pests. There are well over 4,000 described species of cockroach around the world, with some experts estimating that there are another 5,000 species that have yet to be classified by taxonomists. Their classification is actually a point of contention—and I won’t take a position on which suborder they’re in, or how many families they consist of. An estimated 60 to 70 species can be found in the continental United States, but most people are likely to interact with no more than a dozen of them—depending on where they live.

해설
지문과 일치하는 것은 일부 전문가 추정으로 바퀴벌레가 약 9,000종일 수 있다는 내용이다.
지문은 기록된 종이 "well over 4,000"(4,000종을 훌쩍 넘음)이고 미분류 종이 "another 5,000"(추가로 5,000종)이라는 전문가 추정을 함께 제시하므로, 합치면 약 9,000종이 된다.
- "All cockroaches are harmful."은 틀리다. "only a few can be considered pests"(극소수만 해충)라고 한다.
- "There is consensus ..."는 틀리다. 분류는 "a point of contention"(논쟁거리)이다.
- "about 24 different kinds"는 틀리다. 대부분의 사람이 접하는 종은 "no more than a dozen"(12종 이하)이다.
- "It is easy to figure out ..."은 틀리다. 몇 개의 과로 나뉘는지 자체가 논쟁거리로 소개되어 있다.
