You are correct, apologies for my mistake, the Indian Subcontinent is about 1/2 the size of the US. The correct answer is B.
To compare the size of the Indian Subcontinent to that of the US, you can use the method of finding the areas of both regions and comparing them.
First, you need to find the area of the Indian Subcontinent. The Indian Subcontinent is comprised of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. You can find the individual areas of each country, add them up, and then determine the total area.
Next, you need to find the area of the US. The United States consists of 50 states and various territories. You can find the individual areas of each state, add them up, and then determine the total area.
Once you have the areas of both regions, you can compare them to determine which answer choice is correct - A, B, C, or D.
