@The Hero Teacher, did you mean passage says 8am, statement says 'in the morning'? The other way round, we still wouldn't know the time, right?

Yes, with just those sentences: passage '8 am' → statement 'in the morning' is True. Reverse them and it's Not Given. False needs a contradiction, not just missing detail. That's in the IELTS Reading guide.

Would the full question change this? Like if it says 'when does the lesson start', and the passage only says morning. that still feels not given to me
