The statement below is followed by four options. Each option is related to the item in the statement, but only one is always true. Select the option that always holds and makes the statement true.
"A country always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Territory
The answer must hold for every country, without exception. An option that is present in most cases but can be missing in even one case is not always true.
Option (1) A navy — landlocked countries such as Nepal and Bhutan have no navy.
Option (2) A coastline — Nepal and Bhutan have no coastline; they are landlocked.
Option (3) A king or queen — India is a republic; its head of state is an elected President, not a king or queen.
Option (4) Territory — a country is a people living on a definite area of land under its own government; with no territory there is no country, so this is always true.
