Question

Which is the highest country in the world?
A. Tibet
B. Nepal
C. Bolivia
D. Finland

Answer 1

Hint: It is home to the highest peak in the world, Mt. Everest which has recently been in the news for gaining about a metre in height. Weather here is temperate in the summers but goes sub-zero in the winter due to its terrain.

Complete answer: Elevation is the height in reference to a fixed point of a geographical location. It is also referred to as height or altitude. It is an important factor as it influences oxygen levels and temperatures.
Option A. It is elevated at 4380 metres (nicknamed the ‘roof of the world’) but its status as an independent country is precarious due to Chinese action. Its capital is Lhasa. Hence, this cannot be the correct option.
Option B. The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal’s capital is Kathmandu. This is the right option at 3265 metres. K.P. Sharma Oli is the prime minister.
Option C. This South American nation has varied terrain and is elevated at 1192 metres. Its capital, La Paz, is the highest in the world, making this a potentially confusing option. However, this is an incorrect option.
Option D. The European country is elevated at 164 metres, lowest out of these options. The currency is the Euro and its capital is Helsinki. Its prime minister, Sanna Marin is often in the news for being the youngest in her role and being progressive. This is not the answer.

Thus, The correct answer is Option B.

Note: Some actually say that Bhutan is the highest country on earth at 3280 metres. It may also be home to the highest unclimbed mountain peak. Regardless, it enjoys the status of the happiest country in the world, having pioneered the concept of Gross National Happiness.
