Consider the following pairs : 1. Cannes: France 2. Davos: Denmark 3. Roland Garros :The Netherlands Which of the pairs given above is/arc correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Cannes is the Mediterranean port city in France that hosts the annual Cannes Film Festival, so pair 1 is correctly matched [1]. Davos is a Swiss ski resort that traditionally hosts the World Economic Forum, and is therefore in Switzerland—not Denmark—making pair 2 incorrect. Roland Garros refers to the Stade Roland Garros, the venue for the French Open tennis tournament located in Paris, France, so pair 3 is also incorrectly matched to the Netherlands [2]. Consequently, only the first pair is correct.
