this really upsets me...please help
It says in the passage:"The people there live by farming and fishing."
In the True or False exercise, it says:"The people there lives almost on farming and fishing."
I wrote False because I thought there was a difference in meaning between "he likes eating fish" and "he almost likes eating fish".
So is it True or False? please ignore any grammar mistakes...

To "live almost on" means "to live mostly on" (i.e. almost = almost completely) - so there were other things needed/being used for living. Perhaps they hunted rabbits or made textiles to export. (It's not about almost liking something.)
