What is the name of the body of water separating Great Britain from France?
- The North Sea
- The Irish Sea
- The Bay of Biscay
- The English Channel
Why this is the correct answer
The English Channel separates the southern coast of England from northern France, at its narrowest point just 34 kilometres wide at the Strait of Dover. It is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. The Channel Tunnel, opened in 1994, runs beneath it to connect England and France by rail.
