Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched? Capital Country

1. A

   Naypyidaw - Myanmar

   (a) Naypyidaw - Myanmar. This option pairs the capital of Myanmar with its correct country, making this pairing accurate and therefore not the correct answer to a question asking for a mismatch.

2. B

   Khartoum - Ethiopia

   (b) Khartoum - Ethiopia. This option pairs Khartoum with Ethiopia, but Khartoum is actually the capital of Sudan, while the capital of Ethiopia is Addis Ababa; because this pair is incorrectly matched, it is the key.

3. C

   Dublin - Ireland

   (c) Dublin - Ireland. This option links Dublin to Ireland, which is a correctly matched pair of a European capital and its nation.

4. D

   Ottawa - Canada

   (d) Ottawa - Canada. This option correctly identifies Ottawa as the capital of Canada, making this pair accurate.

Summary. Official key is (b) Khartoum - Ethiopia. The question asks to identify the incorrectly matched capital and country pair among the given choices. Naypyidaw is indeed the capital of Myanmar, Dublin of Ireland, and Ottawa of Canada. However, Khartoum is the capital of Sudan, not Ethiopia, whose capital is Addis Ababa. Thus, option (b) is the correct choice for the mismatched pair.
