2. What countries do we refer to as West African country?

Are they correct?

1. I said, "I'll bet you ten dollars that Bill will be late." Since you also thought Bill would be late, you didn't take my bet. (You declined to bet me.)

2. I think they are the countries in the horn of Africa - the countries in the part that juts out to the west in the northern half of the continent.

1 & 2. Both correct.
