Add a letter, whether same or different, to each of the seven sets of letters below, so that each set can be anagrammed into the name of a country.

1) I  U  S  N  T  A
2) I  U  S  A  T  A
3) B  E  N  O  N  A
4) R  E  D  K  M  N
5) L  A  S  G  N  E
6) C  R  E  D  O  U

***Adapted from a problem appearing in "Test of Reasoning 4" by Philip J. Carter and Ken A. Russell.

1 (   ? ) i

2 Austria r

3 Lebanon l

4 Denmark a

5 Senegal e

6 Ecuador a

7 Nigeria g

irlaeag -> Algeria

If there were a typo, and the 1st entry began with "o e" not "i u",

we would have:

O  E  S  N  T  A  + I = Estonia
