World Facts and Geography

Tunisia was the first country to face protests in the Arab Spring, sparked by Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation in December 2010, leading to President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's ouster in January 2011. Yemen, Libya, and Egypt followed Tunisia's lead in the subsequent months.

Sudan was split into two countries on July 9, 2011, when South Sudan gained independence after a January 2011 referendum where the southern region voted overwhelmingly for separation. Somalia, Yemen, and Ethiopia did not undergo such partitions during this period.

People from the Philippines are called Filipinos. The country's name ends in 's' but the demonym is Filipino (not Philipinian). The letter 'Ph' becomes 'F' in the demonym. Option B has the wrong spelling 'Philipinian' - it should be 'Filipinian' to be considered, but 'Filipino' is the standard term.

People from the Netherlands are called Dutch. This is the standard English demonym. 'Netherlanders' might seem logical but is not commonly used. 'Hollanders' refers specifically to people from Holland (two provinces), not the entire country. 'Hollish' is not a valid term.

People from Kiribati are called I-Kiribati. The prefix 'I-' is a definite article in the Gilbertese language. 'Kiribatian' might seem logical but is not the correct term. 'Kirib' and 'E-Kiribati' are not valid demonyms.

People from Kosovo are called Kosovar. This is the internationally recognized demonym. 'Kosovite', 'Kosove', and 'Kosovian' are not standard terms for referring to people from Kosovo.

People from Lesotho are called Basotho (singular Mosotho). This is the correct demonym in Sesotho, the national language. 'Lesothinian', 'Besthian', and 'Lasotho' are not valid terms.

People from Seychelles are called Seychellois. This is the French-derived demonym reflecting the country's colonial history. 'Seychellian', 'Seychelle', and 'Seychellar' are not correct terms.

People from Swaziland (now Eswatini) are called Swazi. This is the correct demonym. The country was renamed to Eswatini in 2018, but the demonym Swazi remains correct. 'Swaiz', 'Swazo', and 'Swazilander' are not valid terms.

Cross-country skiing is widely recognized as Norway's national sport. Given Norway's geography, climate, and historical dominance in winter sports, particularly cross-country skiing, this designation is factually accurate. Norway has a rich skiing tradition dating back centuries.

Chichen Itza is a pre-Columbian Maya site located in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. It was one of the largest Maya cities and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The other options are famous landmarks but not the location of Chichen Itza.

China is the third country, after the USSR (now Russia) and the USA, to independently launch a human into space using their own technology. This occurred in 2003 when Yang Liwei orbited Earth aboard Shenzhou 5. Germany, North Korea, and France have not independently developed human space launch capabilities - they have relied on cooperation with other space agencies or have focused on robotic missions.

According to some food consumption studies, Denmark has been recorded as having one of the highest daily calorie intakes per capita. However, this data may be outdated or vary by study. USA typically appears in top lists but varies by measurement.
