Last Updated:

ACanada
BNorway
CRwanda
DChicago
Correct Answer: NorwayYour Answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option B — **Norway**. **Norway** is conventionally known as **“Land of the Midnight Sun”**. The name is connected with the summer phenomenon in areas north of the Arctic Circle where the sun remains visible at midnight; its regional identity is Northern Europe. This combination of nickname, geographical setting and identifying feature makes Option B correct. Geographical epithets are conventional exam expressions rather than official administrative names, so the safest method is to memorise each epithet with its exact place and the physical, cultural or economic reason behind it. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Canada**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the Maple Leaf”**, linked to the maple leaf being a nationally recognised Canadian symbol displayed on its flag. Option C — **Rwanda**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of a Thousand Hills”**, linked to its densely undulating highland terrain and numerous rounded hills. Option D — **Chicago**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Windy City”**, linked to a long-standing civic nickname associated with Chicago. Exam Takeaway: Remember **Land of the Midnight Sun — Norway** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.

Important Notes

  • **Epithet and place:** “Land of the Midnight Sun” refers to Norway.
  • **Region:** Norway is associated here with Northern Europe.
  • **Reason:** The nickname reflects the summer phenomenon in areas north of the Arctic Circle where the sun remains visible at midnight.
  • **Exam trap:** Treat geographical epithets as conventional GK names; do not confuse them with official political or administrative titles.
