PLEASE HELP:)

Read the sentences from the first paragraph of the section "Meeting In Secret":

They made a secret treaty and Russia agreed to it. It was known as the Sykes-Picot Agreement. It drew up borders in the Middle East. Arab lands would be controlled by Great Britain and France.

What does the author mean by saying the agreement "drew up" borders for land in the Middle East?

Group of answer choices

It painted pictures of countries.

It created new borders.

It made countries smaller.

It got rid of all borders

When the author says the agreement "drew up" borders for land in the Middle East, it means that the agreement was responsible for creating new borders in that region. The Sykes-Picot Agreement established the boundaries for different territories, dividing the Arab lands between Great Britain and France. This implies that the correct answer is "It created new borders."
