Is this a trick question?

To which continent does Central America belong? My answer is North American continent. Is that correct?

It's not really a trick question. But since Central America is Spanish speaking, it's easy to think it's part of South America.

However, you are right. Central America is part of North America.

Although, note that for many Europeans, there are only six continents -- with the Americas being just one continent.

No, this is not a trick question. Central America belongs to the continent of North America. Your answer is correct.

To find the answer to this question, you can start by knowing the basic geography of the region. Central America is a narrow isthmus that connects North America to South America. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east. By understanding this geographical position, you can determine that Central America belongs to the North American continent. Consulting a reliable atlas or conducting an online search would also confirm this information.
