Consider the following pairs : <table><tr><th></th><th>Country</th><th>Animal found in its natural habitat</th></tr><tr><td>1.</td><td>Brazil</td><td>Indri</td></tr><tr><td>2.</td><td>Indonesia</td><td>Elk</td></tr><tr><td>3.</td><td>Madagascar</td><td>Bonobo</td></tr></table> How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched ?
AOnly one
BOnly two
CAll three
DNone
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. None
Answer: D. NONE of the pairs is correctly matched.
(1) Brazil — Indri: WRONG. Indri is a large lemur endemic ONLY to the rainforests of Madagascar, not Brazil. Brazil is famous for jaguars, capybaras, anacondas.
(2) Indonesia — Elk: WRONG. Elk (Cervus canadensis) are native to North America and parts of East Asia. Indonesia has banteng, anoa, babirusa, orangutans.
(3) Madagascar — Bonobo: WRONG. Bonobos (Pan paniscus) are great apes found ONLY in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not Madagascar. Madagascar's signature primates are lemurs.
All three pairings reverse or misplace species. Hence none correctly matched.
