My brain didn't like that.

22/25, that's a B+ !

Someone help, please! I don’t get this one: “Pick a place that is located in the Southern Hemisphere. ➡️ South Africa ➡️ South Dakota ➡️ South Australia ➡️ East Timor. South Dakota is a state in the northern part of the United States, located in the Northern Hemisphere.”🔸🔸🔸 I picked “South Australia” thinking it’s in the Southern Hemisphere, but them am told “South Dakota is a state in the northern part of the United States, located in the Northern Hemisphere.” What the hell does that hafta do with the price of rice in China? It asks for somewhere in the Southern hemisphere but apparently wanted me to pick someplace in the *Northern* hemisphere. What am I not understanding here, please? Since no one else has commented on this, I assume I’m wrong and not the question, so I’d be grateful if someone could square me away. Thanks a million! 💋

I think BP used a writer who doesnt quite understand English as much as they need to to create a quiz like this. The question “Which country is landlocked?” is wrong; I’d answered Switzerland (because it *is* landlocked, as none of it is coastline), while Portugal —which BP says is the correct answer— is NOT landlocked because one of its borders is the Atlantic. “Landlocked” means an area is NOT bordered by a coastline.
