Which of the statements given above are correct?
General KnowledgeGeography
- A1, 2 and 3
- B1, 2 and 4
- C1, 3 and 4
- D2, 3 and 4
Explanation
'Deciduous' means shedding leaves during the unfavourable season — autumn and winter, not summer — so statement 1 is wrong. Mid-latitude deciduous forests are native to eastern North America and western Europe (statement 2), occur in Asia as a belt between the boreal forest to the north and the steppe to the south (statement 3), and typically contain beech, hickory and walnut (statement 4). Hence 2, 3 and 4.
