Explanation:
We need to match each flag (numbered 1 to 12) with the correct country from the list below. Let’s go one by one and identify each flag using well-known features:
1. Flag has the Union Jack in the top-left, a blue field, and white stars (Southern Cross + Commonwealth Star). →
Australia
2. Flag has the Union Jack in the top-left, green, yellow, black, red, and white bands — but wait! Actually, this is the flag of
South Africa: it has a Y-shaped design with black, yellow, green, red, white, and blue. Yes — that’s South Africa.
3. Flag is the Union Jack itself (red, white, and blue crosses). →
UK (United Kingdom)
4. Flag has red and white vertical stripes with a red maple leaf in the center. →
Canada
5. Flag has three horizontal stripes: saffron (top), white (middle with blue wheel), green (bottom). →
India
6. Flag is blue with the Union Jack in the top-left and four red stars (Southern Cross) plus one larger star. That’s the flag of
New Zealand.
7. Flag is green with a white vertical stripe on the left and a white crescent + star on the green part. →
Pakistan
8. Flag has green and orange vertical stripes with a white stripe in the middle. That’s the flag of
Ireland (green, white, orange).
9. Flag has blue (top), white (middle), and red (bottom) horizontal stripes, with a sun and three stars in the blue stripe. →
Philippines
10. Flag has red and white horizontal stripes and a blue rectangle in the top-left with white stars. →
USA
11. Flag has three vertical stripes: green, white, green — with a green circle in the center? Wait — no. Actually, this is Nigeria: green-white-green vertical stripes, no emblem. Yes, that’s
Nigeria.
12. Flag has a gold diagonal cross (saltire) dividing black and green triangles. That’s the flag of
Jamaica.
Now let’s list them clearly:
1 → Australia
2 → South Africa
3 → UK
4 → Canada
5 → India
6 → New Zealand
7 → Pakistan
8 → Ireland
9 → Philippines
10 → USA
11 → Nigeria
12 → Jamaica
Let’s double-check against the given country list to ensure all are used and none repeated:
Given countries:
JAMAICA, NEW ZEALAND, USA, PHILIPPINES, AUSTRALIA, PAKISTAN, UK, CANADA, IRELAND, SOUTH AFRICA, INDIA, NIGERIA
→ All 12 are accounted for.
Final Answer:
1–AUSTRALIA, 2–SOUTH AFRICA, 3–UK, 4–CANADA, 5–INDIA, 6–NEW ZEALAND, 7–PAKISTAN, 8–IRELAND, 9–PHILIPPINES, 10–USA, 11–NIGERIA, 12–JAMAICA
