Turkey, officially the Republic of Türkiye, is a country mainly in Anatolia in West Asia, with a smaller part called East Thrace in Southeast Europe.

Arun Visvanathan, it's capital is in Asia.
Angela Mutch
An ambiguous place like turkey should have had either both Asia and Europe as an option.
Arun Visvanathan
Turkey is in both Europe and Asia. Its capital is in Europe so that should be the preferred answer.

George Oliver Prince, No. Central America is not a continent. It is part of North America.
Shelley Durocher
Raymond Cardona, Nope. The continents are the continents regardless of where you live. I'm Canadian too, and Central America is not a continemt; it is part of the continent of North America.
Shelley Durocher
Luis Alfonso Diaz Archila, It is not a mistake. Central America is not a continent. It is part of North America
Shelley Durocher
buhlemann, Central America is part of North America. Period. It is completely irrelevant how much the countries in Central America have "in common" with the countries of South America.

Maggie Petite, Central America is not a continent.
Monty Mathias
Liz Hamilton, Agreed. it'a primarily in Asia, but better choice would have either had both continents listed together, or ask a different question.

10 / 14. I should have done better!
Liz Hamilton
Turkey is considered part of Europe and Asia, so both answers should be correct.
