00:08

reason we stopped taking showers hey everybody's got to do their part right [Man standing in bath tub]

00:12

well here's question which of the following characteristics cannot be used

00:16

to delineate a region and here your potential answers...

00:22

alright region zone there is oh my all words we use to describe our personal

00:28

bubble seriously don't touch me all right but there are also actual terms [Man points to bubbles]

00:32

that mean something very specific so what is the region not how about a if

00:37

all the areas of a region are predominantly Hindu then that region is

00:42

delineated by religion is a region not a region if that regions origin is [Girl standing by side of the road]

00:48

religion and try to invent 10 times fast that that's about this done untangling

00:53

your tongue there great well religion is definitely a characteristic that can be

00:57

used to delineate a region Vatican City would probably be a little peeved [Pope stood beside Italy]

01:01

otherwise so the answer can't be a how about be if all areas of a region speak

01:06

either English or French or both then that region is delineated by language

01:10

like religion language is a characteristic that can be used to [Two men speaking foreign languages]

01:13

delineate a region and usually a pretty noticeable one so bye-bye be should it

01:18

be C well if all areas of a region suffer from annual drought then that

01:26

weather be not will weather the weather whatever the weather whether we like it [Man discussing weather]

01:30

or not yeah we're really enjoying our tongue twisters today anyway a regions

eliminated by climate is indeed a region meaning we might need a rain check on C [Woman standing in rain and man at the sunny beach]

01:39

haha do we do there have a D if all areas of a region lie within certain

01:44

latitude lines then that region is delineated by a physical location let's [Latitude lines appear over Earth]

01:49

get physical physical..ask your parents she was the babe

01:54

in the day all right but let's face it for the most part we live in the real

01:57

world and the physical characteristics of that world are a pretty decent

02:01

measure for delineation so we can forget about D which brings us to eat well

02:06

seeing as we found choices a through D all to be valid characteristics for

02:10

defining regions is the the answer that makes sense that's it

02:14

it's there he is our winner now go ahead and find our address on our website and [Trophy for answer E appears]
