Question

I need help with this:

"This is a nation in South Asia. One of South Asia's three major rivers is in this country. The country has two climate regions, arid and semi-arid and the dominant religion in this country is Islam."

Which country could it be?

Thanks

I see only two countries that it could be.

(Broken Link Removed)

Note that it can't be an island nation.

Wait..which two?
Ms. Sue
It either begins with an A or a B.

Check your map to see which of those countries in southern Asia has a major river in it.

So my choices are Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, and Bangladesh...

Ms. Sue
Algeria is in Africa. Bahrain is in western Asia, and Azerbaijan is in central Asia.

Which of those countries is included in southern Asia?

Which has a major river?

Come on, MC, you can find the answer.

Only one of these maps shows a major river -- one that everyone should have heard of.
