Question 1
Yerevan is the capital of which country?
Correct Answer:
Armenia
Explanation:
Knowing world capitals helps you place countries on a map and understand geography. Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia, a country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. It serves as Armenia’s administrative and cultural center and is its largest city. Armenia is bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran to the south, and it is landlocked. The other countries listed have different capitals: Georgia's is Tbilisi, Azerbaijan's is Baku, and Turkey's is Ankara. So Yerevan belongs to Armenia.
Question 2
What is the capital of Moldova?
Correct Answer:
Chisinau
Explanation:
Knowing capital cities helps place a country on the map. Moldova, located in Eastern Europe between Romania and Ukraine, has Chișinău as its capital. In English it’s commonly written as Chisinau, and it’s the political and administrative center of the country. The other cities listed correspond to capitals of different places: Windhoek is the capital of Namibia, Monaco is the capital of Monaco, and Mexico City is the capital of Mexico. So the capital of Moldova is Chisinau.
Question 3
Which city is the capital of Equatorial Guinea?
Correct Answer:
Malabo
Explanation:
Knowing the capital cities of countries helps you connect a country to its political center. Equatorial Guinea is in West Africa and the capital is Malabo, a city on Bioko Island that serves as the administrative hub. The other cities are capitals of other countries or were historically capitals: Lagos is a major Nigerian city (not the capital), Abidjan was the capital of Ivory Coast in the past but the capital now is Yamoussoukro, and Kinshasa is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. So Malabo is the correct choice. Note that there has been talk of moving the capital to a new planned city, but Malabo remains the official capital.
Question 4
In what year was NATO formed?
Correct Answer:
1949
Explanation:
NATO's formation is tied to the immediate postwar push for a formal security alliance to deter the Soviet threat. The correct year is 1949, when the Washington Treaty establishing NATO was signed and the alliance came into force. This marked the official beginning of NATO and the start of collective defense, where an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. The other dates don’t reflect the creation of NATO: 1945 is the end of World War II, 1950 is the start of the Korean War era, and 1963 is not related to NATO’s founding.
Question 5
The capital of Mauritania is which city?
Correct Answer:
Nouakchott
Explanation:
Identifying a capital means pinpointing the city where a country's government is based. Mauritania’s capital is Nouakchott, a coastal city on the Atlantic that became the capital around the time of independence in 1960. It serves as the administrative and political center of the country today. The other cities listed are capitals of different countries—Chisinau is Moldova’s capital, Windhoek is Namibia’s capital, and Mexico City is Mexico’s capital—so Nouakchott is the correct choice for Mauritania.
