Which set lists all seven continents and all five major oceans?

• A. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia (Oceania), South America; Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), Arctic Oceans.
• B. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia (Oceania), South America; Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, Southern Oceans.
• C. Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, Antarctica, South America; Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, Southern Ocean.
• D. Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, South America, North America, Australia; Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, Southern Ocean.

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is knowing the standard names for the seven continents and the five major oceans. This set includes all seven continents—Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia (Oceania), and South America—and all five oceans—Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, and the Arctic Ocean. The use of Australia (Oceania) covers the continent name, and the Southern Ocean is listed as Southern (Antarctic) with the Arctic Ocean noted as Arctic Oceans. Because it includes every continent and every ocean, it’s the complete and correct pairing.
