Answer: C. Jordan has no Mediterranean coast; its only sea outlet is the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea. Iraq's only coast is a short stretch on the Persian Gulf. Lebanon and Syria both have Mediterranean coastlines. So 3 and 4 only.
Watch for: Jordan is close to the Mediterranean on the map, but Israel and the West Bank lie in between.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Jordan and Iraq do not touch the Mediterranean.
- B. Wrong because Iraq touches only the Persian Gulf.
- D. Wrong because Jordan opens only to the Gulf of Aqaba.
