Which two sovereign nations share terrestrial land borders with the State of Kuwait?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Iraq
- Step 1: Kuwait shares its southern and southwestern land borders with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (approximately 222 kilometers).
- Step 2: It shares its northern and northwestern land borders with the Republic of Iraq (approximately 257 kilometers).
- Step 3: Kuwait shares maritime borders with Iran across the northern Arabian Gulf, but has no land frontier with Iran.
Answer
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Iraq.
Why not the others: 'Saudi Arabia and Qatar' incorrectly names Qatar, which does not border Kuwait; 'Iraq and Iran' mentions Iran, which shares only a maritime Gulf boundary; 'Bahrain and Oman' have no direct terrestrial connections to Kuwait.
