The passage states that Koenigsberg had a German majority population before World War 2 and is now a Russian territory with a predominantly Russian population. It is surrounded by the Baltic Sea, Poland, and Lithuania. We need to identify the statement that can be directly inferred from the passage.
Analyze the Options:
A) Kaliningrad was historically Russian in its ethnic make up: The passage states that it had a German majority population before World War 2. Therefore, this cannot be inferred.
B) Kaliningrad is a part of Russia despite it not being contiguous with the rest of Russia: The passage says Kaliningrad is Russian territory and is bordered by Poland and Lithuania, indicating that it is separated from the main part of Russia. Therefore, this can be inferred.
C) Koenigsberg was renamed Kaliningrad, as that was its original Russian name: The passage only states that it is now called Kaliningrad. It does not say that Kaliningrad was its original Russian name.
D) Poland and Lithuania are on the route from Kaliningrad to the rest of Russia: The passage states that Poland and Lithuania border Kaliningrad, but it does not specifically state that they are on the route to the rest of Russia.
Correct Answer: B) Kaliningrad is a part of Russia despite it not being contiguous with the rest of Russia.
