When it is not clear what the modifier (i.e. adjective) is modifying (i.e. noun).

97%. The only one I missed was the one about Shakespeare. I never read any of those plays, so I just didn't know.

Columbus reached Cuba in 1492. Here is a map of North America. There's Cuba. The question was: Columbus's ships arrived in North America in 1492. True or false? It didn't say anything about reaching the main landmass.

Columbus did not make landfall on the continent of North America in 1492. . .

That's not what the question asks. It asks if he made it to North America. All the islands he visited are part of North America and therefore the answer should be "true".

North America is a continent. The rest are islands. They are in the northern hemisphere - but not part of the North American landmass.

Google North American countries. Just about everything lists the islands, such as Cuba, as part of North America.

No. That has nothing to do with the quiz question, though.

Most of us went to a public school and we all aced this test. What's so difficult about understanding "immaculate conception"? Even if you didn't understand the meaning behind it, I can't see how the answer would be a man.

A: that's united nations sub-regions, not continents.

continents map : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Continents_vide_couleurs.png

B: the continent that australia, new zealand, new guinea, and some other countries down there are part of, is called Oceania..

edit:

and i got 86% on the test. the damn religon questions, columbus, and shakespeare questions screwed me.

(i read 2 of the shakespeare plays presented..both were tragedies >.< never read othello or 12th night. and the columbus question screwed everyone who thinks correctly. looks like i missed the iran question too...)
