all the way from to Baltic to the Adriatic; clear from the Baltic to the Adriatic Explanation: Answers 1 and 2 are right. This is to give you alternatives that express the encompassing sea-to-sea implication of the phrase. (Bis hinunter implies limits of a region.) They are talking about the water, but you don't have to use the word sea. It's like from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Best wishes, Nancy |
