Question

Consider the following statements related to Brazil:
i. Brazil’s GDP is higher than Italy’s GDP.
ii. Dilma Rousseff was elected as President of Brazil.
iii. Maracana stadium hosted world cup football final.
iv. Of all of Brazil’s neighbours, Argentina has the longest border.
v. Real is the currency of Brazil.
Which of the following options does not contain false statement(s) related to Brazil?

• A. i, ii, iii, iv
• B. i, ii, iv, v
• C. i, iii, iv, v
• D. i, ii, iii, v
• E. ii, iii, iv, v

Hint:

Remember: Brazil’s longest border is with Bolivia, not Argentina. Currency = Real; Maracanã = iconic football stadium.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Evaluating each statement.
- (i) Brazil’s GDP is higher than Italy’s GDP: This was true around the early 2010s when Brazil’s economy surpassed Italy’s in nominal GDP, especially during the commodity boom. ✔️
- (ii) Dilma Rousseff was elected as President of Brazil: Correct. She served as the 36th President of Brazil from 2011 to 2016. ✔️
- (iii) Maracana stadium hosted world cup football final: True. The Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro hosted the FIFA World Cup finals in 1950 and 2014. ✔️
- (iv) Of all of Brazil’s neighbours, Argentina has the longest border: False. Brazil shares its longest border with Bolivia, not Argentina. ❌
- (v) Real is the currency of Brazil: Correct. The Brazilian currency is the Real (BRL). ✔️
Step 2: Identifying the correct set.
The false statement is (iv). The true ones are (i), (ii), (iii), and (v). So, the option that contains only correct statements is: (D) i, ii, iii, v.
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct non-false statements: i, ii, iii, v}} \]
