IV- Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Nagasaki is located on the south-western coast of Kyushu, the southernmost

of the four mainland islands of Japan. Nagasaki lies at the head of a long bay
which forms the best natural harbor on the island of Kyushu. The main
commercial and residential area of the city lies on a small plain near the end
of the bay. Two rivers divided by a mountain spur form the two main valleys
in which the city lies. As of 2004 the population of the city is 447,419 and
its size in square kilometers is 338.72.

another 75,000 believed to have died of bomb-related causes in the decades
that followed.
The city was rebuilt after the war, dramatically changed. New temples were
built, and new churches as well. New structures were also raised as
memorials, such as the Atomic Bomb Museum. Nagasaki remains the first
