1. In the explanation of the question “Which one is the right from following facts?”, you wrote that Amazon is the longest river in the world. However, the Nile is the longest river in the world. Brazilian
scientists declared that Amazon is longer than the Nile, but most world scientists are skeptical about what methods the Brazilian researchers used to measure the Amazon River. Therefore, the current consensus within the geographic community still agrees that the Nile is the longest river in the world according to UNESCO. Also, pay attention to the reliability of the sources. Even the Guinness World Records confirmed that the Nile is the longest river in the world.

2. South Africa has three capital cities not four: executive Pretoria, judicial Bloemfontein and legislative Cape Town.  Johannesburg is not capital as you wrote in your explanation, it is
just the largest city in the South Africa.

3. Amazon river does not flow through three countries as written in the explanation of your quiz: Brazil, Colombia and Peru, but through nine countries based on some internet website: Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Suriname, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Guyana, and French Guiana.

In some internet website, there are six countries: Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia.

Anyway, Amazon River flows through more than three countries.

2. "Johannesburg is the provincial capital and largest city of Gauteng, which is the wealthiest province in South Africa. Johannesburg is the seat of the Constitutional Court". I read this above statement from this (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannesburg)
link and added to the capital cities list of South Africa. It doesn't led to fail in this question. Because it is written in description of question. Thank you for correcting me. I will try to be more clear and accurate from next quizzes.

3. Sure, there are more than 3 countries which crossed by Amazon river.

But, if you know there is word limitation of quiz description. I had to remove some important words in many questions. In this question i shortened description by removing other countries which are not mantioned in question.

1. The longest river of the world is not exactly settled yet. Some internet resources give Nile is the longest as you said, some resources give Amazon is the longest by length and biggest by volume.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_length
Exactly true fact is "Bern is the capital of Switzerland". It's clear and not changable compared to option of longest river.
