Answer 5

The answer is - Europe is NOT a continent!!!  That is Eurocentric BS.  Ask whoever for the water demarcation between the two land masses.  There ain’t one.

The continents are:

North America, South America, Eurasia, Australia (Australasia), Africa and Antarctica.  

And if you want to combine the Americas too - that's OK.
