World Geography and Capitals

Athens is the capital of Greece and has been since 1834. It is one of the world's oldest cities with recorded history spanning over 3,400 years. 'Damscus' is a misspelling of Damascus (Syria's capital), Moscow is Russia's capital, and Doha is Qatar's capital.

Bern is the capital of Switzerland, serving as the seat of the federal government since 1848. It is located in the canton of Bern. Lome is Togo's capital, Tunis is Tunisia's capital, and Ankara is Turkey's capital.

Moscow has been Russia's capital for most of its history, except from 1712 to 1918 when Saint Petersburg held that role. It is Russia's political, economic, and cultural center. 'Qutar' is a misspelling (likely Qatar), Honiara is Solomon Islands' capital, and Damascus is Syria's capital.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and one of the oldest cities in Western Europe, predating Rome, London, and Paris. It has been Portugal's political center since the Middle Ages. Lima is Peru's capital, Manila is Philippines' capital, and Doha is Qatar's capital.

Warsaw has been Poland's capital since the late 16th century, though it was destroyed during WWII and rebuilt. It is Poland's largest city and political center. 'Sanna' is a misspelling (likely Sana'a in Yemen), Kampala is Uganda's capital, and Madrid is Spain's capital.

The statement is correct because Montevideo is indeed the capital of Uruguay. While there is a minor spelling error (Montevedio instead of Montevideo), the factual claim is accurate. The False option would only be correct if the city named was not Uruguay's capital.

Montevideo is the correct answer as it is the capital of Uruguay, though it's misspelled as 'Montrevedio' in the option. Kampala is the capital of Uganda, Shillong is a city in India (not a national capital), and Turkey is a country (not a city). Despite the spelling error, option A is clearly the intended correct answer.

Brussels is the headquarters city for both the European Union (hosting the European Commission, Council of the EU, and other key institutions) and NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization). No other city houses both of these major international organizations. Paris hosts the OECD and UNESCO, London was the EU's financial center pre-Brexit, and Berlin is Germany's capital but not an international organization hub.

Krakow served as Poland's capital from 1038 to 1596 before Warsaw became the capital. Prague is in Czech Republic, Lublin is another Polish city but was never the capital.

WTO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, making option B correct. The UNO is in New York (not London), FAO is in Rome (not Chicago), and ILO is also in Geneva (not New York), making this the only accurate headquarters pairing.

The G-20 Summit meeting referred to in this question was held in Pittsburgh in 2009, during the global financial crisis. London hosted an earlier G-20 summit in 2009 as well, but Pittsburgh was the specific venue for this particular meeting being referenced.

WTO (World Trade Organization) headquarters is in Geneva, Switzerland. UNO is in New York, FAO is in Rome, and ILO is also in Geneva (not New York).

Podgorica is the capital and largest city of Montenegro. Niksic, Herceg Novi (misspelled as 'Hercgnovi'), and Bar are other Montenegrin cities but not the capital. Podgorica was previously known as Titograd during the Yugoslav era.

Monaco is unique in that the city-state and its capital share the same name. Valletta is the capital of Malta, Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro, and Trondheim is a city in Norway (not the capital - that's Oslo).

Oslo is the capital and largest city of Norway. Lillehammer hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics, while Drammen and Skien are other Norwegian cities. Oslo was formerly known as Christiania.
