Why was it not enough to explain the nation only through a map?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A map cannot fully show emotions and ideals
The governing concept is the difference between territorial description and national imagination. A map can show a country's geographical area, location and boundaries, but it cannot by itself communicate shared memories, emotions, ideals or a feeling of belonging. Allegorical figures and symbols supplied these human and political meanings beyond physical territory. Thus, option A is correct. B is false because maps do show boundaries, while C and D describe things maps do not primarily represent.
