Which country does the'new continent' refer to in Swedish Academy's citation?

  • Asia

  • North America

  • Africa

  • Australia

Answer

The Swedish Academy's citation refers to Australia as the'new continent'. This is because Australia was the last continent to be discovered by Europeans, and was therefore considered to be a new and unexplored land. The citation also refers to Australia as a'vast land', which is accurate as Australia is the sixth largest continent in the world.
