Which country is described as a mountainous landlocked communist state in southeastern Asia?

• A. Laos
• B. Thailand
• C. Myanmar
• D. Vietnam

Answer: (A)

Think of a country in Southeast Asia that is entirely surrounded by land, has rugged highlands, and is governed by a single communist party. Laos fits all three: it is landlocked, with mountainous terrain in the north and across much of the country, and since 1975 it has been a one-party socialist republic led by the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party. Thailand and Vietnam both have coastlines, so they aren’t landlocked, and Myanmar also has coast access and isn’t a communist state today.
