Consider the following pairs:

Region Country
I. Mallorca Italy
II. Normandy Spain
III. Sardinia France

In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly matched?

The correct answer is

None

Analyzing Region-Country Pairs

Let's carefully examine each of the provided region-country pairs to determine if the information is correctly matched. We need to verify the actual country to which each region belongs.

Pair I: Mallorca and Italy

  • The region mentioned is Mallorca.
  • The country given in the pair is Italy.
  • However, Mallorca is a large island located in the Mediterranean Sea and is part of the Balearic Islands archipelago, which belongs to Spain, not Italy.
  • Therefore, the match between Mallorca and Italy is incorrect.

Pair II: Normandy and Spain

  • The region mentioned is Normandy.
  • The country given in the pair is Spain.
  • Normandy is a well-known historical and cultural region located in northwestern France. It is not part of Spain.
  • Therefore, the match between Normandy and Spain is incorrect.

Pair III: Sardinia and France

  • The region mentioned is Sardinia.
  • The country given in the pair is France.
  • Sardinia is a large island in the Mediterranean Sea and is an autonomous region of Italy. It is the second-largest island in Italy after Sicily. It is not part of France.
  • Therefore, the match between Sardinia and France is incorrect.

Counting Correct Matches

Based on our analysis of the three pairs:

  • Pair I (Mallorca, Italy) is incorrect.
  • Pair II (Normandy, Spain) is incorrect.
  • Pair III (Sardinia, France) is incorrect.

None of the three pairs provided are correctly matched. Thus, the number of correctly matched rows is zero.

Conclusion on Region-Country Matches

Since none of the pairs correctly match the region with its country, the answer is that none of the rows contain correctly matched information.
