Arrgghhh! Both of these statements are so ridiculous, it's impossible to think that anyone would believe them. Asia and the Pacific islands extend from Turkey to Indonesia with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kazkhstan, Russia, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, India, Sri Lanka, China, Mongolia, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand -- and many others in between. In these countries are hundreds of different ethnic groups.

There is no right answer because the question is ridiculous. I agree with Ms. Sue.
It's a bad question -- you should tell your instructor and tell him/her why.
