Which region is geographically North Africa and Southwest Asia and is sometimes called The Arab World?

• A. Sun Belt
• B. Middle East
• C. Arab World
• D. Hispanic America

Answer: (B)

The Middle East is the region geographically comprising North Africa and Southwest Asia. This area is often referred to as The Arab World because many of its countries share Arabic language and cultural ties, though not every country in the region is Arab and not all Arab countries are in this region. The other options don’t fit: the Sun Belt refers to southern United States states, Hispanic America to Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, and The Arab World is a cultural-linguistic grouping rather than a strict geographic region.
