QUESTION 33-Known for white sand beaches and tequila, this southern North American country’s flag has the same colors as that of Italy. What country is it?
Correct Incorrect Mexico: The flag of Mexico showcases colors that were adopted by the country following its independence from Spain in 1821. The coat of arms displayed on the flag depicts an eagle holding a snake while perched on a prickly pear cactus atop a rock rising from a lake. This imagery is derived from an Aztec legend, which narrates that the gods instructed the Aztecs to establish their capital where they witnessed an eagle devouring a serpent on a nopal cactus, now known as Mexico City. The flag's design encapsulates the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Mexico.
