Trivia Question Help

Post by Armandillo »

(There's a bonus question at my local pub trivia, asking for help is allowed)

One of the largest rivers in South America originates along the southern borders of Venezuela and Brazil, in the state of Amazonas. Name the river?

I'm guessing Amazon River but that...seems...too obvious?

Amazon river starts in Peru. I thought Orinoco as well, but just a guess.

Are you sure that you've got the wording of the question right? The southern borders of VeneZuela and Brazil are nowhere near each other. The Southern border of Venezuela with Brazil would make sense. And, yes, the Orinoco is one of the largest rivers in S America And has its headwaters in the Amazonas province.
