Answer 2

Let's analyze each statement one by one:

1) The United Kingdom and Northern Ireland are different countries. - True. The United Kingdom (UK) is a sovereign country that consists of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

2) The UK is fairly small. - This is subjective and depends on the context. Geographically, the UK is not large compared to some other countries, but it is not extremely small either. It's larger than many European countries but smaller than, for example, the United States or Russia. Without a specific comparison, it's challenging to determine if this statement is true or false.

3) The UK is situated on some islands. - True. The United Kingdom is an island nation comprising the island of Great Britain (which includes England, Scotland, and Wales) and the northeastern part of the island of Ireland, along with several smaller islands.

4) The highest mountains are in the north of the country. - False. The highest mountains in the UK are located in Scotland, which is in the north, but the specific statement is not accurate. The highest peak is Ben Nevis, which is in the western part of Scotland.

5) England is the largest part of the kingdom. - True. England is the largest and most populous country within the United Kingdom.

6) London lies on the river Thames. - True. London, the capital city of the United Kingdom, is situated on the River Thames.

7) The UK Parliament is famous for its long history. - True. The UK Parliament has a long and rich history, dating back centuries. It is one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in the world.

In summary, statements 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are true, statement 4 is false, and statement 2 is subjective without additional context.
