Mediterranean Sea is a border of which of the following countries?1.Jordan2.Iraq3.Lebanon4.SyriaSelect the correct answer using the code given below:

1. A

   1, 2 and 3

   Option (a) is 1, 2 and 3. Jordan is inland from the Mediterranean behind Israel/Palestine; Iraq is a Persian Gulf and Mesopotamian state with no Mediterranean shore. Including both invalidates this set. This option is not the key.

2. B

   2 and 3 only

   Option (b) is 2 and 3 only. Iraq has no Mediterranean coast, even though Lebanon does. This option is therefore wrong.

3. C

   3 and 4 only

   Lebanon and Syria both have Mediterranean coastlines (Beirut–Tripoli; Latakia–Tartus). Jordan and Iraq do not. The stem list therefore yields 3 and 4 only, which is the official key.

4. D

   1, 3 and 4 only

   Option (d) is 1, 3 and 4 only. Lebanon and Syria are correct, but Jordan’s only sea outlet is Aqaba on the Red Sea, not the Mediterranean. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) 3 and 4 only. On the eastern Mediterranean, Lebanon and Syria are littoral states. Jordan is landlocked from that sea and faces the Red Sea at Aqaba. Iraq’s coasts are on the Persian Gulf. The stem names Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria; only the last two border the Mediterranean.
