Let's solve this step-by-step based on the map provided in the image.
---
The map shows the world with continents and oceans labeled by letters. We need to match each letter to its correct name.
#### Continents:
- A – North America
- B – South America
- C – Europe
- D – Africa
- E – Asia
- F – Australia (also called Oceania)
- G – Antarctica
Wait — let’s double-check:
Looking at the map:
- A is clearly North America (top left)
- B is South America (below A, connected by narrow land)
- C is Europe (attached to Asia, west of it)
- D is Africa (south of Europe, between Atlantic and Indian Ocean)
- E is Asia (large landmass east of Europe, north of India)
- F is Australia (small continent south of Asia, east of India)
- G is Antarctica (at the bottom)
But wait — the label G appears twice: once on the left side and once on the right. That seems odd.
Actually, looking closely:
- The left G is likely part of the Atlantic Ocean, not a continent.
- The right G is also ocean — probably the Pacific Ocean?
Wait — that can’t be. Let's re-evaluate.
Actually, the letters are placed on the map, so we must interpret which region each letter marks.
Let’s go through the map carefully:
- A: North America → Correct
- B: South America → Correct
- C: Europe → Correct
- D: Africa → Correct
- E: Asia → Correct
- F: Australia → Correct
- G: This is tricky — there are two Gs? No, actually, G appears only once, but it's near the Antarctic region, and it's colored green like other continents. Wait — no, G is actually labeled over the ocean.
Wait — now I see: the green areas are continents, and blue is ocean.
So:
- A = North America ✔
- B = South America ✔
- C = Europe ✔
- D = Africa ✔
- E = Asia ✔
- F = Australia ✔
- G = Antarctica ✘ — because Antarctica is at the bottom, and M is labeled over Antarctica.
Wait — M is over Antarctica? Yes! The red-colored area at the bottom is Antarctica, and it's labeled M.
Then what is G?
Ah — G is labeled on the Pacific Ocean (on the right side), and H is on the Atlantic Ocean? Wait, no.
Let’s look again.
The map has:
- A: North America
- B: South America
- C: Europe
- D: Africa
- E: Asia
- F: Australia
- G: ??? — appears to be Arctic Ocean or North Pole?
- H: ??? — possibly Arctic Ocean too?
Wait — G is on the top left, near the Arctic — maybe Arctic Ocean?
But G is blue, so it's an ocean.
Let’s list all letters:
- A: North America
- B: South America
- C: Europe
- D: Africa
- E: Asia
- F: Australia
- G: Arctic Ocean (north of Asia and North America)
- H: Atlantic Ocean (between Americas and Europe/Africa)
- I: Pacific Ocean (west of Americas, east of Asia)
- J: Indian Ocean (between Africa, Asia, Australia)
- K: Southern Ocean (around Antarctica)
- L: Possibly a typo or mislabel? Wait — L is near Asia, but it's pink — same as Asia. Wait — L is part of Asia?
Wait — E is Asia, and L is adjacent, but L is not a separate continent.
Actually, L is likely part of Asia, so perhaps L is just a region within Asia.
But the question asks for continents and oceans.
Now, M is clearly Antarctica — it's the southernmost continent, red-colored.
So:
1. A = North America
2. B = South America
3. C = Europe
4. D = Africa
5. E = Asia
6. F = Australia
7. M = Antarctica
8. I = Pacific Ocean (between Americas and Asia/Australia)
9. H = Atlantic Ocean (between Americas and Europe/Africa)
10. J = Indian Ocean (between Africa, Asia, Australia)
11. G = Arctic Ocean (north of Asia, Europe, North America)
12. K = Southern Ocean (around Antarctica)
Wait — K is labeled below Antarctica, so yes, Southern Ocean.
But what about L? It's labeled on the map but not in the questions. Probably just a regional label.
So now, let's fill in the blanks.
---
1. North America → A
2. South America → B
3. Europe → C
4. Africa → D
5. Asia → E
6. Australia → F
7. Antarctica → M
8. Pacific Ocean → I
9. Atlantic Ocean → H
10. Indian Ocean → J
11. Arctic Ocean → G
12. Southern Ocean → K

13) Which of these continents is closest to Europe?
A. North America
B. South America
C. Scandinavia? Wait — options are:
A. North America
B. Australia
C. South America
D. Asia
→ Asia is directly attached to Europe (they form Eurasia). So D. Asia
✔ Answer: D. Asia
---
14) Which ocean touches Africa's western border?
Africa's western border is facing the Atlantic Ocean.
A. Atlantic Ocean → ✔
B. Arctic Ocean → no
C. Indian Ocean → eastern side
D. Pacific Ocean → not near Africa
✔ Answer: A. Atlantic Ocean
---
15) Which continent is not touching any other continents?
- North America: touches Asia via Bering Strait (very close, but not touching) — technically not touching
- Europe: touches Asia and Africa
- Africa: touches Asia (via Sinai Peninsula) and Europe (via Mediterranean Sea — not touching)
- Australia: isolated, surrounded by water — does not touch any other continent
But wait — Australia is separated from Asia by sea, so it doesn't touch any.
But Antarctica also doesn't touch any — it's isolated.
Wait — Antarctica is not listed in the choices.
Choices:
A. North America
B. Australia
C. Europe
D. Africa
So between these, Australia is the one that does not touch any other continent.
North America touches Asia via Bering Strait? No, not physically touching — but no land connection.
But Australia is completely isolated.
✔ Answer: B. Australia
(Though Antarctica is even more isolated, it's not in the choices.)
---
16) Which ocean touches Africa's eastern border?
Africa's eastern coast borders the Indian Ocean.
A. Pacific Ocean → no
B. Atlantic Ocean → western side
C. Indian Ocean → ✔
D. Arctic Ocean → no
✔ Answer: C. Indian Ocean
---
17) Which of these continents is closest to Africa?
A. North America
B. South America
C. Asia
D. Antarctica
Africa is closest to Asia — they are separated by the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Also, the Horn of Africa is very close to the Arabian Peninsula.
North America and South America are across the Atlantic — farther.
Antarctica is far south.
So Asia is closest.
✔ Answer: C. Asia

Step 1: Identify Continents and Oceans from the Map
