If you learnt that Australasia/Oceania is a continent, then, you were taught wrong!!! The definition of a continent is a large landmass, separated by water. Therefore, oceania consisting of 14 countries, most of them tiny, cannot fit the criteria of a continent. Why do some people automatically think if there is a point of difference in US education, then the Americans must be wrong. Everyone should be completely certain what a continent is before discrediting an education system.

Antarctica IS a continent but has zero (0) countries so i think they they got that question the better than any of us would. Australia is the only continent that contains of only 1 country.

"Continents are understood to be large, continuous, discrete masses of land, ideally separated by expanses of water." Which means; if there is lots of water between, it's a continent, BUT, "ideally" = does not exlude other factors. Australia and Antarctica aren't even on the same tectonic plates. Yes, you fail, miserably, and you make me feel ashamed of myself for being listed as from the same country as you.
