Question

Suez canal connects.

• A. English channel with North Sea
• B. Mediterranean with Red Sea
• C. Pacific Ocean with Caribbean Sea
• D. Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean

Hint:

Remember the Suez Canal runs through Egypt and shortens the Europe to Asia sea route, unlike the Panama Canal which links the Pacific and Caribbean.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Question.
The question asks which two seas the Suez Canal joins. This is a straightforward geography fact about a well known shipping route.

Step 2: Key Fact or Approach.
The Suez Canal is an artificial waterway cut through the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt. It was built so that ships would not have to sail around the entire African continent to move between Europe and Asia.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation.
On the northern end, the canal opens into the Mediterranean Sea near Port Said. On the southern end, it opens into the Red Sea near Suez city. A ship entering from the Mediterranean side sails south through the canal and comes out into the Red Sea, from where it can reach the Indian Ocean.
The other choices describe different canals or unconnected water bodies. The English Channel already meets the North Sea on its own without any canal. The Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are joined by the Panama Canal in Central America, a completely separate waterway. The Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean are not linked by any well known canal.

Step 4: Final Answer.
The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, which is option (b).
