A. Sacred sites
B. Ethnic quarters
C. Bordellos
D. Commercial areas
To determine the correct answer, we can break down the question and calculate the percentage of deserts in the specified regions individually.
1. North Africa: Some of the notable deserts in North Africa include the Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world. The Sahara Desert covers a significant portion of North Africa. Approximately 90-95% of North Africa is desert.
2. Southwest Asia: Southwest Asia, also known as the Middle East, is home to various desert regions, such as the Arabian Desert. However, not all of Southwest Asia is desert. Roughly 40-45% of Southwest Asia is desert.
3. Central Asia: Central Asia consists of countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, etc. While Central Asia does have some desert regions, such as the Kyzylkum Desert, it is not predominantly desert. Only about 10-15% of Central Asia is desert.
Now let's calculate the combined percentage of deserts in North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia:
Percentage of deserts in North Africa: 90-95%
Percentage of deserts in Southwest Asia: 40-45%
Percentage of deserts in Central Asia: 10-15%
To get the combined percentage, we can find the average of these percentages:
(90-95% + 40-45% + 10-15%) / 3
(95 + 45 + 15) / 3 ≈ 51.67%
This means that approximately 51.67% of North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia is covered by deserts.
Given the answer choices:
a. 6
b. 10
c. 50
d. 70
None of the answer choices match the calculated percentage. Therefore, none of the answer choices are correct.
