World Geography and Capitals

The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, is located at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands. Geneva hosts other UN agencies, but not the court.

The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health, and its headquarters are located in Geneva, Switzerland.

Dodoma has been the official capital of Tanzania since 1974, though Dar-es-Salaam remains the largest city and former capital. Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous region, and Arusha is a major city but not the capital. The move to Dodoma was part of a plan to create a more centrally located capital.

The World Bank headquarters is located in Washington DC, USA. London hosts the World Bank's European office, while New York is where the UN is headquartered. The main World Bank building complex has been in DC since its founding.

South Africa has three capitals: Pretoria (executive), Cape Town (legislative), and Bloemfontein (judicial). Pretoria and Cape Town are both capitals, while Johannesburg and Durban are major cities but not capitals. This makes both A and C correct.

Tokyo's name literally means 'eastern capital' (to = eastern, kyo = capital). This distinguishes it from Kyoto which was the 'western capital.' Delhi, Shanghai, and Singapore don't have names meaning 'eastern capital.' Note: 'Shangai' is misspelled - should be 'Shanghai.'

Saint Basil's Cathedral, with its iconic colorful onion domes, is located in Moscow's Red Square. It was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century. Not in Saint Petersburg, Babylon, or Alexandria.

New Delhi is the capital of India. The other options are incorrect: USA and Russia are countries, not cities, and Africa is a continent. The question is straightforward Indian geography.

South Africa has three capital cities: Pretoria (executive/ administrative), Bloemfontein (judicial), and Cape Town (legislative). This unique arrangement distributes governmental functions across different cities.

Cuba is traditionally referred to as the 'Sugar Bowl of the World' due to its large sugar industry. The capital of Cuba is Havana.

Switzerland is called 'The Playground of Europe' due to its stunning Alpine scenery that attracted European tourists and adventurers in the 19th century. The Swiss Alps offered mountaineering, skiing, and picturesque landscapes. Berne (Bern) is the capital of Switzerland - it's the de facto federal city. London, Cardiff, Edinburgh are in UK. Paris is France's capital. Rome is Italy's capital.

Norway is called 'The Land of the Midnight Sun' because during summer months (approximately May to July), the sun does not set for about 76 days north of the Arctic Circle. Oslo is the capital of Norway. Reykjavik (Iceland's capital, misspelled here) also experiences midnight sun, but Norway is more famously associated with this nickname. Helsinki is Finland (also has midnight sun). Godthaab (Nuuk) is Greenland's capital. Stockholm is Sweden's capital. Copenhagen is Denmark's capital.

Japan is known as 'The Land of the Rising Sun'. The capital of Japan is Tokyo. Other options like Seoul (South Korea) or Beijing (China) are capitals of different nations.

Anu Malik's song 'Mera Mulk Mera Desh' from the movie 'Diljale' (1996) lifted melody from Israel's national anthem 'Hatikvah' (The Hope). Jerusalem is Israel's proclaimed capital and the seat of government, though not internationally recognized by all nations. Athens (Greece), Manila (Philippines), Tehran (Iran), Baghdad (Iraq), Cairo (Egypt) are capitals of Middle Eastern/West Asian countries but not Israel.
