"America" is a collective land mass consisting ofNorth America and South America.

Answer 7

A continent.  The USA is a country.  There are several countries on the American continent.

Answer 8

A country. "America" can't be called a continent because there are two American continents: North America and South America. The name "America" by itself only ever refers to the country whose full name is the United States of America, not to any continent as it would be unclear which of the two continents with "America" in its name it would be referring to. That's why, in the vernacular, if one is going to "America," one is going to the United States of America, but if one is going to the "Americas," one is going to anywhere on the North American continent (which includes Central America), on the South American continent, or on any of the islands adjacent to or associated with those two continents (e.g., Brazil isn't in America; Brazil is in the Americas).

Answer 9

A corporation.

Answer 10

It's a scary thought that many Americans would think it was a country first. That average IQ is dropping, fast.
