What is Africa's easternmost peninsula called?

• A. Sinai Peninsula
• B. Cape of Good Hope
• C. Arabian Peninsula
• D. Horn of Africa

Answer: (D)

Identifying which peninsula sticks out farthest to the east on the African continent. The Horn of Africa is the easternmost peninsula, jutting into the Indian Ocean from the eastern edge of Africa and forming coastlines for countries like Somalia and Djibouti, with Cape Guardafui as its tip. The Sinai Peninsula sits at Africa’s northeast corner but is commonly considered part of Asia rather than Africa, so it isn’t the easternmost African peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula lies across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and is not part of Africa, while the Cape of Good Hope is at the southern tip of the continent.
