  1. Question 1

    Q1. The Khyber Pass historically linked Peshawar with which land route trade hub across the border?

    • A) Kabul
    • B) Tehran
    • C) Tashkent
    • D) Urumqi

    Answer: Kabul

    Explanation: The Khyber Pass, cutting through the Spin Ghar (Safed Koh) range at about 1,070 m, has been the principal land route linking Peshawar in Pakistan's northwest to Kabul, the Afghan capital, for millennia. Tehran, Tashkent, and Urumqi lie much farther beyond Afghanistan and were not the immediate destination at the western end of the pass.
