Pacific · Pacific is an ocean. Asia and Europe are continents, not oceans.
Africa · Africa is a continent. Atlantic and Pacific are names of oceans, not continents.
True · Antarctica is the icy continent at the very bottom of the globe.
An ocean · Blue areas on a globe show water. The Indian Ocean is one of the five oceans.
7 · Count each name in the list one by one: there are seven continents in total.
Africa · Kenya is a country, and it sits inside the continent of Africa.
Europe · France is a country inside the continent of Europe, not North America.
He pointed to land but used an ocean's name · Continents are land and oceans are water. Sam pointed at land, so he should have said a continent's name.
