Which peak is the highest in the northern, Mediterranean half of Algeria?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Djebel Chélia in the Aurès, at 2,328 metres
- Step 1: Chélia is just above Lalla Khadidja, the highest point of Kabylie, and Tahat lies in the far south. Step 2. Compare each option with this fact and discard those that conflict with it. Answer: Djebel Chélia in the Aurès, at 2,328 metres. Why not the others: Lalla Khadidja is 20 metres lower, Tahat is in the south and the Ouarsenis is lower.
