BECE Social Studies 2021 Paper

Concept:Latitude tells how far a place is north or south of the Equator. Ghana lies north of the Equator.Solution:Ghana's southern coast is at about $4^\circ 44'$ N and its northern border is at about $11^\circ 11'$ N.To the nearest degree this is $5^\circ$ N to $11^\circ$ N.$6^\circ$-$13^\circ$ N, $4^\circ$-$13^\circ$ N and $3^\circ$-$12^\circ$ N go far beyond Ghana's northern border (about $11^\circ$ N).Key point: Our copy had changed option A to '4° North and 11° North', which made two options almost equally correct. The paper's option A is '6° North and 13° North', so option B is the answer.Answer:Option B ($5^\circ$ North and $11^\circ$ North approximately)
