Question

Consider the following pairs:
Area of conflict mentioned in news | Country where it is located
1. Donbas | Syria
2. Kachin | Ethiopia
3. Tigray | North Yemen

How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

AOnly one
BOnly two
CAll three
DNone
Correct Answer — D

Explanation

None of the pairs is correct. The Donbas region — comprising Donetsk and Luhansk — is located in eastern Ukraine, not Syria.

Kachin State lies in the northern part of Myanmar, not Ethiopia.

Tigray, the site of a brutal internal conflict, is a region in northern Ethiopia — not North Yemen.

All three locations have been assigned to entirely wrong countries, so the correct answer is Option D — None.
