Answer 1

D. 1...5

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is probably a no-brainer for someone good at geography. However, it can easily be answered by just reading the given information.

First, note, from the given options, that Columbia is marked with 1 or 2, and Chile with 5 or 6.

Now, if we read the description for country number 2 we see that it's located between Columbia and Guyana. That means that Columbia is number 1 (since it obviously can't be 2).

Similarly, description for country number 6 is that it's located between Ecuador and Chile. That means that Chile is number 5.

I hope this helps.
