Looking at the first question,

  1. You are using " and ' at the end of Which is the largest continent on earth?
  2. Make sure to include document.write('<p>Your answer if correct!</p>'); within the if { } statement. Currently, it's outside so it doesn't execute if the condition is met.
  3. Your else statement is missing a ' within the closing parenthesis: </p>')
