Sample questions with answers

The first 5 questions of this free test.

1. Q1. Geography is described as a discipline of synthesis. Which reasoning best supports this description?

   • A. It only collects facts but never links them with one another
   • B. It studies a single science in complete detail and rejects others
   • C. It deals only with the history of the earth and nothing else
   • D. It brings together facts from physical and social sciences within a spatial framework
   Solution

   Geography brings together and relates facts from many natural and social subjects in a spatial (place-based) framework, so it synthesises knowledge rather than studying one thing in isolation.

2. Q2. A researcher divides the earth into regions and then studies all the physical and human features of each region one by one. Which approach and which key idea is she using?

   • A. Regional approach, based on studying one topic worldwide
   • B. Systematic approach, based on historical change
   • C. Regional approach, based on areal differentiation
   • D. Systematic approach, based on areal differentiation
   Solution

   Studying one region as a whole follows the regional approach, which is based on areal differentiation — how one area differs from another.

3. Q3. When the systematic approach is followed in geography, how is a particular phenomenon, such as climate, studied?

   • A. The phenomenon is ignored and only maps are prepared
   • B. Only the past history of the phenomenon is studied
   • C. A single region is studied completely before any other region
   • D. The phenomenon is studied for the whole world as a single topic
   Solution

   In the systematic approach a single phenomenon is studied over the whole world first, before looking at individual regions.

4. Q4. Assertion (A): Biogeography is treated as an interface between physical geography and human geography. Reason (R): Biogeography studies plants and animals and their links with both the natural environment and human beings. Choose the correct option.

   • A. A is false but R is true
   • B. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
   • C. A is true but R is false
   • D. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
   Solution

   Both statements are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion, because living things connect the natural world with human life.

5. Q5. Four branches are listed below. Three of them are branches of human geography and one does not belong to the group. Identify the odd one out.

   • A. Economic geography
   • B. Climatology
   • C. Settlement geography
   • D. Population geography
   Solution

   Climatology belongs to physical geography, while population, settlement and economic geography are branches of human geography.
