Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Gravity pulls on an object, but apparent weight is a measure of downward force. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the force exerted by gravity. As we know, downward forces can be easily manipulated using inertial and non-inertial reference frames (in the case of elevator/thriller rides), buoyancy force (in the case of fluid), or air drag as the object falls on the earth's surface.

This is also why we feel heaviness in our weight when riding a lift/thriller ride in an accelerated upward direction.
