directions: read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow.

Explanation:

The map shows the region of Mesopotamia, where the two major rivers are the Euphrates and Tigris. In option B, X is Euphrates River and Y is Tigris River, which matches the geographical context of the region (Mesopotamia) where these two rivers are located. Other options have incorrect river pairings (e.g., Jordan River is not in this Mesopotamian region, and option D swaps the two rivers).

Answer:

B.
X: Euphrates River
Y: Tigris River
