True or false the mean is less sensitive to extreme scores than the median and this makes it a better measure than the median for highly skewed distributions

That would be FALSE.

The median is a robust statistic that can only move a little bit even given the largest outlier.   A single outlier can affect the mean, the average, arbitrarily much.
