Correct Answer: NagpurYour Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option C — **Nagpur**. **Nagpur** is conventionally known as **“Orange City”**. This combination of nickname, geographical setting and identifying feature makes Option C 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 — **Thailand**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of the White Elephant”**, linked to the historic royal and cultural importance of rare white elephants. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—Southeast Asia—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Option B — **Australia**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Land of Kangaroos”**, linked to kangaroos being native animals and widely recognised symbols of Australia. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—Oceania—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Option D — **Rome**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Eternal City”**, linked to its long historical continuity and central importance in Roman and European history. Remembering its actual epithet and regional identity—Italy—explains the precise difference from the epithet asked in the question. Exam Takeaway: Remember **Orange City — Nagpur** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.

Important Notes

  • **Epithet and place:** “Orange City” refers to Nagpur.
  • **Region:** Nagpur is associated here with Maharashtra, India.
  • **Exam trap:** Treat geographical epithets as conventional GK names; do not confuse them with official political or administrative titles.
