Question

1. the passage says the atlantic ocean lies between which regions?

a. north america and europe to the north and africa to the south
b. africa to the west and asia to the east
c. australia to the west and the americas to the east
d. around the north pole and greenland

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the geographical location of the Atlantic Ocean:

• Option A: The Atlantic Ocean is between North America (west) and Europe (east) in the north, and Africa (east) and the Americas (west) in the south. This matches the general geography.
• Option B: Africa is east of the Atlantic, and Asia is not adjacent to the Atlantic (separated by Indian Ocean and Europe/Africa). So B is wrong.
• Option C: Australia is in the Indian/Pacific Oceans, not near the Atlantic. So C is wrong.
• Option D: The Arctic Ocean is around the North Pole, not the Atlantic. So D is wrong.

Answer:

A. North America and Europe to the north and Africa to the south
