Which country is described as bordering Russia to its west?

• A. Ukraine
• B. China
• C. Mongolia
• D. North Korea

Answer: (A)

Understanding where countries lie relative to each other helps answer this. Russia’s western border runs along Europe, and Ukraine sits to the west of Russia, sharing a long eastern border with it. The other options lie to the south or east of Russia (Mongolia and China to the south, North Korea to the east), so they don’t border Russia on its western side. That makes Ukraine the right choice.
