Which mountain range separates Alsace from the rest of France?

Which mountain range separates Alsace from the rest of France?

• A. Alps
• B. Pyrenees
• C. Jura Mountains
• D. Vosges Mountains

Answer: (D)

Alsace sits in the northeast of France, right by the Rhine and the German border. The Vosges Mountains run along Alsace’s western edge, forming a natural barrier that separates this region from the rest of the country. That makes the Vosges the range in question. The other ranges don’t fit this role: the Alps lie to the southeast near Italy, the Pyrenees span the southwest border with Spain, and the Jura Mountains sit along the France–Switzerland border rather than isolating Alsace from the rest of France.
