For question 5, the correct answer is option c. African countries located south of the Sahara region have great cultural diversity. To determine this, you can use your knowledge of the geography of Africa and the Sahara desert. The Sahara desert is a vast desert that stretches across the northern part of Africa, making it difficult for cultural exchange between the countries North and South of it. Therefore, it can be inferred that the cultural diversity is greater in African countries located south of the Sahara.
For question 6, the correct answer is option a. The Nile river is NOT a major transportation route across southern Africa. To determine this, you can analyze the statement and compare it to your existing knowledge of the Nile river's geographical location. The Nile river is actually located in northeastern Africa and flows through multiple countries, including Egypt and Sudan. It is not situated in the southern part of Africa. Therefore, the statement in option a is not true.
