Question

Siberia is a giant, semi-arctic region encompassing most of northern Asia. Most of Siberia is, or has once been, part of Russia or the Soviet Union. Much of Siberia is frozen and empty. Though Siberia contributes almost 80% of Russia's land area, only a quarter of Russia's population lives there, mainly huddled along the territory's southern fringe. Siberia is perhaps best known for the infamous prison labor camps known as the Gulag, where Russia (and later the Soviet Union) sent many of the nation's prisoners. Because of the Gulag, the name "Siberia" has become international slang for an undesirable, remote location

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Actually, the proposed title that best captures the theme of the passage is A. Siberia: Russia's Vast, Inhospitable Expanse. This is because the passage primarily focuses on describing Siberia as a large and inhospitable region in northern Asia, highlighting its size and climate, as well as its historical connection to Russia and the Soviet Union. While the passage mentions the Gulag and the southern fringe of Siberia where the population is concentrated, these aspects do not capture the main theme discussed in the passage. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice.
