    Which continent is orange

    • Asia

    • Antarctica

    • Africa

    Correct Answer
    A. Africa
    Explanation
    Africa is the correct answer because it is the only continent that is commonly associated with the color orange. This association is due to the vast deserts found in Africa, such as the Sahara, which have a distinct orange hue. The question is asking for the continent that is commonly represented by the color orange, and Africa fits this description.

    What two continents are green?

    • North and South America

    • Asia and Africa

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. North and South America
    Explanation
    North and South America are the correct answer because they both have a significant amount of green vegetation. The Amazon rainforest in South America and the forests in North America contribute to the greenery in these continents. Additionally, both continents have diverse ecosystems and a variety of plant life, which further supports the statement that they are green. Asia and Africa, on the other hand, have large desert areas and other arid regions that make them less green compared to North and South America. Therefore, the correct answer is North and South America.

    A. Asia

    Which continent is red?

    • Asia

    • Europe

    Correct Answer
    A. Europe
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the continent that is red. The answer is Europe. This could be interpreted in different ways, but one possible explanation is that Europe is commonly associated with the color red due to its political and cultural symbols. For example, the European Union flag has a blue background with a circle of twelve yellow stars, and the Council of Europe's flag has a blue background with a circle of twelve golden stars. The color red is often used to represent Europe in maps and visual representations.
