Which mountain range includes Ben Nevis, whose peak contains the highest point in the British Isles?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The Grampian Mountains
- Step 1: The range includes many of the highest mountains in the British Isles, including Ben Nevis (whose peak contains the highest point in the British Isles at 1,345 m or 4,413 ft above sea level) and Ben Macdui (whose peak contains second-highest at 1,309 m or 4,295 ft). Answer: The Grampian Mountains. Why not the others: The Cheviot Hills: They lie on the England-Scotland border and are not the range containing Ben Nevis. The Brecon Beacons: They are in Wales and are not the range containing Ben Nevis. The Mourne Mountains: They are in Northern Ireland and are not the range containing Ben Nevis.
