{'physical regions': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'guyana highlands': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'andes': [2, 2, 1, 1], 'amazon basin': [3, 1, 0, 0], 'brazilian shield': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'map': [0, 7, 2, 0]}

The question is about identifying the correct sequence of physical regions numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 on a map.

Option 1 is the correct answer. It suggests the order as Andes, Brazilian Shield, Guyana Highlands, and Amazon Basin. Each region has its specific characteristics - the Andes are the longest continental mountain range, the Brazilian Shield is a geologically ancient plateau, the Guyana Highlands are a massif in South America, and the Amazon Basin is a drainage basin of the Amazon River and its tributaries in South America.

Option 2 changes the sequence of Brazilian Shield and Guyana Highlands. Option 3 puts Amazon Basin as the first region, although it`s the last one in the correct option. Option 4 suggests Guyana Highlands as the first region when it`s actually the third.

Without the map to look at, it’s hard to ascertain whether the given correct answer is right. Yet, if the question`s answer is marked correct, the numbers in the map must correspond to those geographies` locations.
