The name of which North African city literally means ‘white house’?

  • A. Rabat
  • B. Marrakesh
  • C. Casablanca
  • D. Cairo

Correct Answer: C. Casablanca

Casablanca is the largest city of Morocco. Located in the central-western part of Morocco bordering the Atlantic Ocean. During World War II, the Germans passed up a chance to kill Franklin D. Roosevelt because they mistranslated the name of the city Casablanca as “White House.” Since “Casablanca” literally means “white house” in Spanish.
