The correct answers are:

1. C. Western Africa;

2. B. Eastern South America;

Alfred Wegener has spent lot of times looking at maps, as it was his job. One day he noticed something peculiar, the western coast of Africa and the eastern coast of South America were an almost perfect match. They looked like peaces of puzzle that belong together. In his mind this was suggesting that these two continents had been merged in the past, and than broke apart. He later got proof about his theory by observing the sea mounts in the Atlantic Ocean.
