Question

The continent bordered on the north by the Arctic ocean and on the east by the North Atlantic Ocean and on the south by Pacific ocean, is

• A. South America
• B. North America
• C. Europe
• D. Australia

Hint:

Only two continents have northern borders touching the Arctic Ocean: North America and Eurasia (Europe and Asia).
Since Europe has no direct border with the Pacific Ocean, North America is the only logical answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall North America's ocean boundaries.
North America is bounded by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. It stretches from the Arctic tundra in Canada down through Central America.
Step 2: Eliminate other continents.
South America borders the Pacific (west) and Atlantic (east) but not the Arctic. Europe touches the Arctic in the north but not the Pacific to the south. Australia is not near the Arctic Ocean.
Step 3: Confirm the answer.
Only North America matches all three boundary conditions given in the question.
\[ \boxed{\text{North America}} \]
