Question

the suez canal connects which two bodies of water?

a. the mediterranean sea and the black sea

b. the mediterranean sea and the red sea

c. the persian gulf and the arabian sea

d. the persian gulf and the caspian sea

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall geographical knowledge: The Suez Canal is an artificial waterway in Egypt that links the Mediterranean Sea (in the north) to the Red Sea (in the south), facilitating maritime trade between Europe and Asia. Option A is incorrect (Black Sea is connected via other routes), C is incorrect (Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea are connected via the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman), and D is incorrect (Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea are not connected by the Suez Canal).

Answer:

B. the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea
