• no choices are correct

Explanation:

Question 62

The Piri Reis map has been used in theories about Atlantis, and one theory connected to it is that Atlantis is in Antarctica. The other options (Atlantis in Kentucky, aliens building Atlantis) are not connected to the Piri Reis map's Atlantis theory.

When relating a historical place to Atlantis (from Plato's account), a key problem is that significant parts of Plato's story about Atlantis have to be altered or ignored to make a historical place fit as Atlantis. The other options are incorrect (Plato consulting otherworldly individuals is not a primary issue, and there are problems with relating a place to Atlantis).

Answer:

A. That Atlantis is in Antarctica
