Dear Sir,
Rangoon was the former capital of Myanmar. Yangoon or Yangon is the present capital of this country. So Q 7's option E is correctly matched I think. To comply with the given answer the spelling should be Rangoon in the option, not Yangoon.

There is no significant difference between Yangon , Yangoon and Rangoon which all mean End of Strife. It is not the current capital of Burma. It is a former capital since 2006. The current capital is Naypyidaw. You may refer to This Page
