Instructions: Read the text and look carefully at the underlined words.

The US does not have a border to the sea but it borders both the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans and it is bordered by Canada and Mexico. It is the third largest country in the world by area and has a varied topography. It does not have an only region, but many of them. The Eastern regions consist of hills and low mountains while the central interior is a vast plain (called the Great Plains region) and the west has high rugged mountain ranges (some of which are volcanic in the Pacific Northwest). Alaska also features rugged mountains as well as river valleys. Hawaii’s landscape varies but is dominated by volcanic topography.
