Explanation:

1. There is no widely - accepted etymology that defines "Africa" as "without cold", "in the South", "great desert", or "land between the seas". However, the etymology of "Africa" is complex and not definitively one of these options presented. But among these choices, there is no strong connection for the other three, while "land between the seas" might be a very loose and incorrect interpretation attempt.
2. Sub - Saharan Africa has an area of about 22.7 million square kilometers, and the area of the United States is about 9.8 million square kilometers. Sub - Saharan Africa is about three times larger than the United States.

Answer:

1. None of the above (if an option for that is available; if not forced to choose, no clear correct one from given)
2. B. about three times larger
