By the narrow Euripus Strait, Euboea is separated from which region on the Greek mainland?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Boeotia on the mainland
- Step 1: It is separated from Boeotia in mainland Greece by the narrow Euripus Strait (only 40 m (130 ft) at its narrowest point), the North Euboean Gulf, and the South Euboean Gulf. Answer: Boeotia on the mainland. Why not the others: "Attica peninsula" borders the South Euboean Gulf further south near Rafina; "Thessaly plain" borders the North Euboean Gulf and Pagasetic Gulf further north; "Peloponnese peninsula" is separated from Euboea by the entire Saronic and Argolic gulfs.
