Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
Each river is matched with the country it is chiefly linked with:
(A) Rhine — this matches (II) Germany. It rises in the Swiss Alps and flows north through western Germany to the North Sea in the Netherlands; it is Germany’s main waterway.
(B) Volga — this matches (III) Russia. The longest river of Europe flows wholly in Russia and drains into the Caspian Sea.
(C) St. Lawrence — this matches (IV) Canada. It carries the water of the Great Lakes past Montreal and Quebec to the Atlantic Ocean, mostly through Canada.
(D) Mississippi — this matches (I) United States of America. The chief river of the USA flows south through the middle of the country to the Gulf of Mexico.
