B. Competitions among athletes from more than 90 nations are held in and near PyeongChang (pronounced pyah-ONG-ch-AH-ng and rhyming with gong). It's in South Korea's northeastern portion, about 80 miles from the capital (Seoul).
The similar-sounding last choice -- Pyongyang -- is the capital of North Korea.

D. Japan and South Korea are close neighbors and main allies of the United States in Northeast Asia. The government in Tokyo (Japan's capital) says South Korea is "the most important neighbor that shares strategic interests with Japan."
