please choose a response that is close to an answer
Of the given options, the closest (yet still not entirely accurate) description of the key geographic features and borders of Spain would be:
"Pyrenees Mountains to the north, Mediterranean Sea to the east, Atlantic Ocean to the south and west, and Portugal to the west."
However, for complete accuracy in describing Spain's geography, it should be amended to:
"Pyrenees Mountains to the northeast, separating Spain from France; Mediterranean Sea to the east and southeast; Atlantic Ocean to the north and northwest, along the northern coast of Spain and the coastline of Galicia; Strait of Gibraltar to the south, which separates Spain from North Africa; and Portugal to the west."
To determine the correct answer, we can look at a map of Spain. The key geographic features and borders of Spain are:
- Pyrenees Mountains to the north: This eliminates the first and third options.
- Mediterranean Sea to the east: This eliminates the second option.
- Atlantic Ocean to the south and west: This eliminates the first option.
Therefore, the correct answer is the fourth option: "Pyrenees Mountains to the north, Mediterranean Sea to the east, Atlantic Ocean to the south, and Portugal to the west."
