Overseas refers to which of the following?

• A. abroad
• B. in a foreign country
• C. at home
• D. within a country

Answer: (A)

Being overseas means being in a country other than your own, usually across the sea. The natural one-word equivalent is abroad, which is used to describe going to or living in foreign lands. So abroad is the best choice because it directly and concisely captures the idea of international destinations beyond your home country. Saying “in a foreign country” conveys the same idea, but overseas is most commonly paired with abroad in everyday usage. The remaining options describe locations within your own country or at home, which do not fit the sense of crossing borders to foreign lands.
