Choose first, then check both the answer and the reason.

1. As of September 2026, what is the headquarters of Srikakulam district?

A. Srikakulam B. Parvathipuram C. Paderu D. Eluru

Answer A. Srikakulam is the present headquarters of Srikakulam. Do not move Parvathipuram Manyam's inland hill places into current Srikakulam merely because older undivided-district sources did so.

2. Which present district should be paired with this study anchor: Gotta on the Vamsadhara and the Arasavalli Sun Temple are useful separate water and heritage anchors?

A. Visakhapatnam B. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema C. Srikakulam D. Palnadu

Answer C. The anchor belongs with Srikakulam. The far north-eastern coast meets Odisha. Vamsadhara, Nagavali and smaller east-flowing streams structure its hill-to-sea drainage. The other options transfer it to unrelated current districts.

3. As of September 2026, what is the headquarters of Parvathipuram Manyam district?

A. Vizianagaram B. Parvathipuram C. Rampachodavaram D. Machilipatnam

Answer B. Parvathipuram is the present headquarters of Parvathipuram Manyam. The headquarters is Parvathipuram; a map of erstwhile Vizianagaram covers a much wider area than this present district.

4. Which present district should be paired with this study anchor: The Nagavali system, Thotapalli barrage and tribal-area administration provide linked geography and governance questions?

A. Anakapalli B. West Godavari C. Bapatla D. Parvathipuram Manyam

Answer D. The anchor belongs with Parvathipuram Manyam. This inland north-eastern district occupies the hill and valley country behind the Srikakulam and Vizianagaram coast. The other options transfer it to unrelated current districts.

5. As of September 2026, what is the headquarters of Vizianagaram district?

A. Visakhapatnam B. Kakinada C. Vizianagaram D. Vijayawada

Answer C. Vizianagaram is the present headquarters of Vizianagaram. The 2022 split created Parvathipuram Manyam. A pre-2022 Vizianagaram district statistic cannot be used unchanged for the smaller present unit.

6. Which present district should be paired with this study anchor: Vizianagaram's fort and Bobbili's historical association make a clear town-to-history pair; check each current district boundary on the map?

A. Vizianagaram B. Alluri Sitharama Raju C. Eluru D. Prakasam

A. Anakapalli B. Rajamahendravaram C. Guntur D. Visakhapatnam

Answer D. Visakhapatnam is the present headquarters of Visakhapatnam. Araku Valley is now in Alluri Sitharama Raju district, not present Visakhapatnam; an older tourism brochure may still label it Vizag district.

A. Polavaram B. Visakhapatnam C. Krishna D. Markapuram

9. As of September 2026, what is the headquarters of Anakapalli district?

A. Anakapalli B. Paderu C. Amalapuram D. Narasaraopeta

Answer A. Anakapalli is the present headquarters of Anakapalli. Do not place every factory in the greater Vizag industrial region inside Visakhapatnam district: the current Anakapalli boundary matters.

10. Which present district should be paired with this study anchor: Atchutapuram industrial activity and Anakapalli's sugar-jaggery history are different forms of economic geography?

A. Kakinada B. NTR C. Anakapalli D. Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore
