Explanation

Row 1 is incorrect
  • Also known as Majorca, Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain. It is in the news due to the growing anti-tourism movement in Spain (Mallorca faces the impacts of overtourism, putting pressure on housing and local resources).
Row 2 is incorrect
  • Normandy is a region of northern France. Recently, World leaders and veterans commemorated D-Day’s 80th anniversary in Normandy. The D-Day Anniversary marks the remembrance of June 6, 1944, the day when Allied forces launched a massive military invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France, during World War II. This operation, known as Operation Overlord, was the largest amphibious invasion in history and marked the beginning of the end of Nazi occupation in Western Europe.
Row 3 is incorrect
  • Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, and one of the 20 regions of Italy.
