If India's location is stated to be in the Western Hemisphere what is the strongest factual response?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India's longitudes are in (E) so it is in the Eastern Hemisphere

The direct answer is A: India lies in the Eastern Hemisphere because its longitudes are east longitudes, marked E. The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude. Places east of it are in the Eastern Hemisphere, and India extends roughly from 68°E to 97°E, so all of India is east of the Prime Meridian. Option A is correct because it uses the strongest direct evidence: the E suffix on India’s longitudes. Option B is wrong because India’s latitudes are north, marked N, not south, marked S. Option C is wrong because India is east, not west, of the Prime Meridian. Option D is wrong because India is in southern Asia, bordered by the Indian Ocean, not in the Atlantic Ocean. Do not confuse latitude direction with hemisphere based on longitude. Memory cue: E means east of Greenwich; India’s E longitudes place it in the Eastern Hemisphere.
