Question 5 was a guess as I don't believe any of the answers are correct. Portuguese is the official language of Brazil so I chose that. However, Brazil is primarily in the southern hemisphere and all of the choices are well into the northern hemisphere. As can be seen below, the first land-mass that would be due east of Brazil would be one of the many countries on the west cost of the African continent. Portugal is north east of Brazil.
