Consider the following pairs:

Leader Country
I. Sanae Takaichi : Japan
II. Catherine Connolly : Ireland
III. Rodrigo Paz Pereira : Cameroon
IV. Paul Biya : Bolivia

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correctly matched pairs are:

  • Sanae Takaichi: A prominent Japanese politician who has served as the Minister for Economic Security and was a leading candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leadership.
  • Catherine Connolly: An Irish independent politician who has served as the Leas-Cheann Comhairle (Deputy Speaker) of Dáil Éireann (the lower house of the Irish Parliament) since 2020.

The incorrectly matched pairs are:

  • Rodrigo Paz Pereira is a politician from Bolivia, where he serves as a Senator, not Cameroon.
  • Paul Biya has been the President of Cameroon since 1982, making him one of the longest-serving leaders in the world; he is not from Bolivia.

Since only pairs I and II are correct, the answer is Two.
