20 Questions

Quiz Description

Yes, every student has the opportunity of having a good grade during the GCE depending on how much effort he/she is willing to put in. We defined the social subject “Geography” as the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources and political and economic activities.
