Explanation

Let's examine each pair: 1. Anatolia - Turkey: This pair is correctly matched. Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor, is the large peninsula in Western Asia that constitutes the majority of modern-day Turkey. 2. Amhara - Ethiopia: This pair is correctly matched. Amhara is one of the ten regional states of Ethiopia, located in the north-western part of the country. It has been frequently in the news due to ethnic and political tensions. 3. Cabo Delgado - Spain: This pair is incorrectly matched. Cabo Delgado is a province located in the northern region of Mozambique, an East African country. It has been a site of significant insurgent activity. 4. Catalonia - Italy: This pair is incorrectly matched. Catalonia is an autonomous community in northeastern Spain, known for its distinct culture and strong independence movement, not Italy. Therefore, only two pairs (1 and 2) are correctly matched.
