10) In which of these countries is there not an International
LTER network: Venezuela , Lithuania , Italy , Mongolia ?
Technically, the answer is none of the above, since Italy
was admitted to ILTER in August 2006. However, we accepted
Italy as an answer for two reasons; 1) if we didn't know,
you shouldn't have known, and 2) Jim Collins showed a map
that did not have Italy as an ILTER member. So if you have
a problem with this answer, take it up with him.
