Let’s go through each question one by one, using the information from the poster and general knowledge.
---
1. What is the full name of the British Isles?
The poster says “The British Isles” includes: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and all small surrounding islands like Isle of Wight, Orkneys, Hebrides, Shetlands, etc. But note — “British Isles” is already the full geographical term. However, sometimes people confuse it with political names. The poster doesn’t give a different “full name,” so we take “The British Isles” as the full name of the group of islands.
But wait — looking at the map on the right, it shows “Ireland” (the whole island) plus Great Britain and smaller islands. So geographically, “The British Isles” is the correct full name for the entire archipelago.
✔ Answer:
The British Isles
*(Note: Some may argue about political sensitivity around the term, but based on this educational poster, “The British Isles” is presented as the full name.)*
