How many islands are in Komodo National Park?

• A. Thirty islands.
• B. Twenty-nine islands.
• C. Twenty islands.
• D. Fifteen islands.

Answer: (B)

This question tests factual knowledge of how many islands are included in Komodo National Park. The park comprises three larger islands—Komodo, Rinca, and Padar—and twenty-six smaller ones, for a total of twenty-nine islands. The official count includes all landmasses within the park’s boundaries that rise above water, not just the big three, which is why twenty-nine is the correct total. Counting only the major islands would yield a number that’s notably smaller, while counting every tiny rock or outcrop could vary, but the standard count used for the park is twenty-nine.
