Question:

"Suez Canal" is located in which country?

Options:

Egypt

Sudan

Italy

France

Correct Answer:

Egypt

Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt which shortens the route of trade between Asia and Europe. Before the Suez canal came into operation the trade was conducted from a longer route. As the canal connects the Mediterranean sea to the Red sea it reduces the distance of trade.
