	You have misspelled Apennine. Mont Blanc should be accepted for the highest mountain in Europe, as Mount Elbrus is not universally accepted as being in Europe. You also misspelled Muslim. Finally, the 38th parallel is the pre-Korean War boundary; the demarcation line between North and South Korea no longer follows it.

	Your question about the Arabian peninsula states that you are looking for a peninsula, so you should accept just "arabian" or "arabia" without also insisting on the word "peninsula." "Answer: South America, Africa. Other Possible Answer: South America & Africa." ...Right. I think this quiz would look better if you made every possible answer display in the answer box and got rid of the third column entirely. Once you make these and the other corrections mentioned, I think this would be a really good geography quiz.

	The most accurate display of the Earth's features is generally accepted to be the Ordnance Survey, at least in the UK. I've never seen a globe with much detail, unless you're talking about an Earth-sized globe - ie the Earth itself!

	personally the question "Name one of the four major political divisions of the United Kingdom." is not asking for the four countries but is asking for the political parties, think it would make more sense if the question was worded differently

	islam is the religion, muslim is a person who practices islam

	I like a lot of what is going on here, but definitely needs some editing and cleaning up. Also clarify "largest" freshwater lake. Baikal would win based on volume.

	I didn't realize England et all were called major political divisions.

	I really like this quiz - I like all the quizzes which are looking for deeper knowledge and not just regurgitation. However, you need to do the tidying up which others have commented on. Also, I'd drop the 'eurasian' bit out of the title, as this is actually a pretty worldwide quiz, so there's no point narrowing your audience. Definitely get rid of the third column - what you can do is put the answer you want to appear in the answer box, and then put all the correct answers as alternatives (i.e. with a / inbetween), so you can get rid of the third column. Capitalise all you answers, even the ones which aren't proper nouns - it just looks neater. Jerusalem is not the only city holy to Jews and Muslims. Also, Catholicism is the majority religion in Timor-Leste too, which sporcle considers to be in Asia (so that'll be an alternative to Philippines).

	Oh, and two questions I'd rephrase: 'What current, flowing from the Gulf of Mexico to Europe, has a warming effect on the climate of Western Europe?' Remove 'gulf', as it's part of the answer (so, 'flowing from Mexico' would be ok). Also, 'Besides the oceans, where is the lowest point on earth?' There are caves, mineshafts, etc, which are very deep. You'd need to rephrase this somehow to reflect that (or remove the question). Perhaps 'What is the lowest point on land in the world?' which would be the shore of the Dead Sea.

	I hate missing something because the quizmaker misspelled it. Like, say, Gibraltar Strait and Himalaya in this case. Remove the "globe" question entirely, I don't see a good way to fix it. Interesting, but sadly lacking, quiz.

	East Timor is majority Catholic, no?

	Thanks for all the comments. This quiz was made as a review quiz for my students and the questions and answers are based on their curriculum. I will work on the misspellings, etc. but the content will be the same since it serves the purpose for which it was made.
