- Equatorial GuineaA sovereign nation whose national capital is situated on an offshore island separate from its mainland territory
- CabindaA political exclave physically separated from the main territory of Angola by a corridor belonging to another nation
- EswatiniA landlocked sovereign kingdom enclosed almost entirely by South Africa and bordering Mozambique to the east
- SeychellesAn island archipelago in the Indian Ocean that constitutes Africa's smallest sovereign state by land area
Answer
Equatorial Guinea matches with having its capital on an offshore island separate from its mainland; Cabinda matches with being a political exclave of Angola separated by the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Eswatini matches with being a landlocked kingdom enclosed by South Africa and Mozambique; Seychelles matches with being an Indian Ocean island archipelago that is Africa's smallest sovereign country.
Each item in Column A correctly matches its distinct political-geographical status in Column B: Equatorial Guinea has its capital Malabo on Bioko Island separate from mainland Río Muni; Cabinda is an Angolan exclave separated by the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Eswatini is a landlocked kingdom enclosed by South Africa and Mozambique; and Seychelles is an Indian Ocean archipelago holding the distinction of being Africa's smallest sovereign nation.
