Why the question mark on # 5?

Read my post just above your last one.

I will go with “B” and get back to you when I get back the results.

Thank you very much.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, please tell us the answer. I agree with Writeacher that Australasia is not a continent -- and neither is South Africa.

Answered by Jen
I’m confused. Are you saying that none of the choice is correct?
Answered by Writeacher
Ms. Sue is right. Among your choices, only Australia and North America are continents. South Africa is a nation. Australasia seems to be some geographers' designation of a geographical region.

Very strange answer choices there!

5. Geographically, Guam is part of what Continent? Guam is North America, Because its a U.S. Common Wealth State. I would go with North America. :) Even tho it's close very close to Asia.
