Which statement about the size of Algeria is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. It is the largest country in Africa, with about 2.38 million square kilometres
- Step 1: Since the split of Sudan in 2011, Algeria has been the largest African country by area. Step 2. Compare each option with this fact and discard those that conflict with it. Answer: It is the largest country in Africa, with about 2.38 million square kilometres. Why not the others: It is the second largest in Africa, It is the third largest in Africa and It is the fourth largest in Africa do not fit the fact above; they describe different things or do not match the question.
