Which city... is the best in Brazil? A: Belo Horizonte! I think you should remove the type-in “Belo”. It is unnecessary. You should put “BH”, as South-Americans just know the city as BH. I sometimes forgot that I live in Belo Horizonte, saying that I live in BH

And Curitiba have the 4th HDI of Brazilian Capitals. Florianópolis is the first. You can say that Curitiba is the coldest capital in Brazil.

Thanks for the comments.

This quiz is from 2018, Curitiba had the highest HDI at the time.

And "Belo" was a standard type-in for Belo Horizonte at the time too.

I might update this quiz later.
