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.

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.
