Explanation:

3C: Choose Two (Sample for Question 1)

The root "geo" relates to Earth. Geography studies Earth's features like mountains and rivers (minerals, gravity less relevant). So a (mountains) and d (rivers) fit.

"Geode" contains "crystals" (a geode is a hollow with crystals). "Nest" contains "eggs" (similar container - content relationship). Other options don't match this.

Answer:

a. mountains, d. rivers
