| Perhaps you could indicate that the quiz is about total area (rather than just land) and also include areas in square miles (given in Wikipedia's pages together with sq. km). Rhode Island (where I live) has a land area of 1,045 square miles (2,706 sq. km) and, because of the huge relative size of Narragansett Bay, a total area 500 square miles larger (1,545 sq. mi. or 4,002 sq. km).
