Looking at the map and the answer key provided:

The task is to match letters on the world map with continents and oceans.

Let’s go step by step:

1. North America — The large landmass in the upper left of the map is labeled “H”. So, H = North America ✔
2. Africa — The yellow continent in the center is labeled “G”. So, G = Africa ✔
3. Australia — The pink island-continent in the lower right is labeled “M”. So, M = Australia ✔
4. Europe — The purple area above Africa is labeled “D”. So, D = Europe ✔
5. Atlantic Ocean — The blue space between Americas and Europe/Africa is labeled “F”. So, F = Atlantic Ocean ✔
6. Asia — The big pinkish landmass on the right is labeled “L”. So, L = Asia ✔
7. Indian Ocean — The blue area south of Asia is labeled “K”. So, K = Indian Ocean ✔
8. Antarctica — The white landmass at the bottom is labeled “C”. So, C = Antarctica ✔
9. South America — The light blue continent below North America is labeled “A”. So, A = South America ✔
10. Southern Ocean — The blue ring around Antarctica is labeled “B”. So, B = Southern Ocean ✔
11. Pacific Ocean — The huge blue areas on both sides (left and right edges) are labeled “J”. So, J = Pacific Ocean ✔
12. Arctic Ocean — The small blue area at the very top is labeled “E”. So, E = Arctic Ocean ✔

Now for the multiple choice questions:

13. If you flew east from South America to Australia, you’d cross the Pacific Ocean first, then reach Asia before Australia? Wait — actually, flying east from South America would take you across the Pacific Ocean directly toward Australia? Let’s think: South America → East → crosses Pacific → hits Australia? But wait — geographically, if you fly EAST from South America, you go over the Pacific Ocean and eventually hit Australia or Asia? Actually, no — flying east from South America takes you across the Pacific to Asia first? Hmm… but looking at the map: South America (A), then going east you hit the Pacific (J), then you reach Australia (M)? No — that’s not right either. Actually, from South America, flying east goes over the Atlantic? No — east from South America is toward Africa/Europe. To get to Australia from South America going east, you’d have to go all the way around the globe — crossing the Pacific Ocean first? Wait — let’s look at the map again.

Actually, the correct path: From South America, flying EAST means you start moving toward the Atlantic? No — standard directions: East from South America is toward Africa. But to get to Australia, you’d need to go west? This is tricky.

Wait — perhaps the question means: if you’re in South America and want to fly to Australia, which direction do you go? And what continent do you pass over?

But the question says: “flew east to Australia” — that doesn’t make sense geographically because Australia is west of South America. Unless they mean flying eastward along a great circle route? That might cross Asia?

Looking at the answer key: #13 answer is C. Asia.

So probably, the intended logic is: if you fly east from South America, you’ll eventually reach Asia before Australia? Or maybe it's a trick — actually, flying east from South America takes you across the Atlantic to Africa, then Asia, then Australia? That seems long.

Alternatively, maybe the map shows that between South America and Australia, going east, you pass over Asia? Looking at the map: South America (A), then to the east is Atlantic (F), then Africa (G), then Indian Ocean (K), then Asia (L), then Australia (M). So yes — if you fly east from South America, you go over Atlantic, Africa, Indian Ocean, Asia, then Australia. So the continent you fly over is Asia. Answer C.

14. From Europe, go south — you hit Africa. Answer A.

15. Which continent touches no other? Antarctica — surrounded by ocean. Answer A.

16. Western border of South America — that’s the Pacific Ocean. Answer B.

17. Which ocean does NOT touch North America? Indian Ocean — it’s far away. Answer A.

All answers match the key.
