Which one of the following pairs is NOT correctly matched? (Name of local winds) (Places)

1. A

   Leveche – Spain

   Leveche claims Spain as the region of occurrence. This is a correctly matched pair because Leveche is indeed a hot, dry wind that blows in southeastern Spain.

2. B

   Brickfielder – Australia

   Brickfielder claims Australia as its region. This pair is correctly matched as the Brickfielder is a hot and dry wind experienced in southern Australia during summer.

3. C

   Black roller – North America

   Black roller claims North America as its region. This is a correctly matched pair since the Black roller is a cold, dusty storm occurring in the Great Plains of North America.

4. D

   Shamal – Austria

   Shamal claims Austria as its region. This is not correctly matched because Shamal is actually a hot and dry northerly wind blowing over the Persian Gulf countries and Iraq, making this option the correct choice for the incorrect pair.

Summary. Official key is (d) because the Shamal wind is associated with the Persian Gulf and Mesopotamia region, not Austria. Options (a), (b), and (c) all correctly pair their respective local winds with their true geographical locations. Aspirants often confuse European winds with Middle Eastern or Australian local winds. Careful geographical mapping of local winds prevents such errors. Therefore, option (d) stands out as the only mismatched pair among the choices provided.
