What is the Jerid in southern Tunisia?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. A region of palm oases between Chott el Djerid and Chott el Gharsa
- Step 1: The Jerid has oases at Tozeur and Nefta. Step 2. Compare each option with this fact and discard those that conflict with it. Answer: A region of palm oases between Chott el Djerid and Chott el Gharsa. Why not the others: A mountain chain in the north, A coastal plain around Sousse and A peninsula pointing towards Sicily do not fit the fact above; they describe different things or do not match the question.
