The map above shows the Iranian Plateau. Which of the following places is not circled on the map?
A.
Hindu Kush
B.
the Elburz Mountains
C.
the Zagros Mountains
D.
Mesopotamia

Answer 1

D. Mesopotamia

Reason: The map of the Iranian Plateau would show the Zagros (to the west of the plateau), the Elburz (north by the Caspian), and the Hindu Kush (to the east) circled; Mesopotamia lies west of the Zagros in the Tigris–Euphrates plain and is not on the plateau, so it is not circled.
