Explanation
The Mediterranean Sea borders countries on its eastern, southern, and northern shores. Jordan (1) is located inland in the Middle East and does not border the Mediterranean; it borders the Dead Sea and the Red Sea (via the Gulf of Aqaba). Iraq (2) is also an inland country and does not border the Mediterranean. Lebanon (3) is located on the eastern Mediterranean coast and has significant Mediterranean coastline. Syria (4) also borders the Mediterranean on its western coast. Therefore, only Lebanon and Syria (options 3 and 4) border the Mediterranean Sea among the listed countries. > Mediterranean Borders: Lebanon & Syria (East); Not Jordan or Iraq (Inland).
