Consider the following pairs :
| Region | Country |
|---|---|
| I. Mallorca | Italy |
| II. Normandy | Spain |
| III. Sardinia | France |
In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?
Show answer
Answer: D. None is correct. Mallorca is a Spanish island (Balearic Islands). Normandy is a region of France. Sardinia is an Italian island. The countries have been shuffled.
Watch for: Each region is matched with a neighbouring Mediterranean country, so the names look familiar but are swapped.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. No pair is correct, so even one is too many.
- B. No pair is correct.
- C. All three pairs are wrongly matched.
