Answer 2

The correct answer is B. F, E

Explanation:

Mecca and Medina are two important cities in Saudi Arabia. Mecca is known for being one of the holiest places for Islam, as in this city the Kaaba is located. Additionally, in terms of location, this city is located in the west of Saudi Arabia; and it is part of the Hejaz region that covers the west area of this country. Similarly, Medina is an important place in Islam; this is also located in the same region as Mecca but is located to the North of Mecca (around 300 kilometers north).

This means, in the map, the letter E represents Mecca because this is the only point that is located in the west of Saudi Arabia, and letter F represents Medina as this city is located in the same region as Mecca but it is further north than Mecca.
