Explanation

Argentina has been in the news for its worst economic crisis (hyperinflation, currency collapse) — pair 1 is correct. Sudan has been in the news for the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 2023 — pair 2 is correct. Turkey has NOT cancelled its NATO membership; rather, it delayed ratification of Sweden's NATO accession before finally approving it. Turkey remains a NATO member — pair 3 is incorrect. Hence only two pairs are correctly matched.
