Final Answer:
1) the Amazon Rainforest
2) 8 countries
3) 20%
4) the Amazon River
5) the Nile River (or the Congo River — depending on measurement method; commonly the Nile is cited as longest, Amazon second, but some sources rank Amazon longer; for standard school curriculum, Nile = longest, Amazon = second)
However, note: recent studies suggest the Amazon may be slightly longer than the Nile. But most textbooks still list:
→ 4) Amazon River
→ 5) Nile River
But since question 4 says *“largest river”* (not longest), “largest” usually means by discharge/volume — and the Amazon is definitively the largest by discharge. So:
4) the Amazon River
5) the Nile River (longest by length) — but if “largest” in Q4 refers to volume, Amazon is #1; for Q5, “second longest” → Nile is traditionally #1 in length, so Amazon would be #2 in length. To avoid confusion, standard school answer:
4) Amazon River
5) Nile River
6) São Paulo
7) Georgetown
8) government (it’s the capital of Guyana)
9) Victoria regia (or Giant Water Lily)
10) the Atacama Desert
11) see wildlife / watch animals / go birdwatching (common answer: “see animals” or “watch birds”)
12) Argentina
But let’s verify standard expected answers for a kids’ worksheet (Nat Geo Kids level):
1) Amazon Rainforest
2) 8 countries
3) 20%
4) Amazon River
5) Nile River *(though debated, this is what most curricula teach)*
6) São Paulo
7) Georgetown
8) being the capital of Guyana
9) Victoria amazonica (Giant Water Lily)
10) Atacama Desert
11) spot wildlife (or “see amazing animals”)
12) Argentina
Since the worksheet is for kids and likely based on common Nat Geo Kids facts:
Final standardized answers:
1) Amazon Rainforest
2) 8 countries
3) 20%
4) Amazon River
5) Nile River
6) São Paulo
7) Georgetown
8) being the capital of Guyana
9) Victoria regia (or Giant Water Lily)
10) Atacama Desert
11) see wildlife
12) Argentina
