Question 9 • Geography

What is a unique characteristic of the Caspian Sea?

Answer
A
It is the deepest freshwater lake in the world.
B
It is located entirely within one country.
C
It is the body of water that has shrunk the most.
D
It is somewhat salty, so it is not entirely fresh water.

Explanation

The Caspian Sea is the world’s largest inland body of water, and its water is brackish—somewhat salty rather than entirely fresh. That makes D, “It is somewhat salty, so it is not entirely fresh water,” the correct choice. It is not located entirely within one country; its shores border several countries.
