What is the limitation of showing the nation only through a map?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A map does not fully show emotions and ideals
A map is useful for showing the physical territory, location and boundaries of a nation, but it cannot fully represent the feelings that bind people together. National identity also includes shared memories, ideals, culture and emotional attachment. Thus, showing the nation only as a map reduces a living political and cultural community to geographical space. Options B, C and D are factually unsuitable.
