Braydon Briggs · Answer 1

Answer: C. Draw the Earth on a sphere.

Explanation:

Jeremy should draw the Earth like a small sphere that can be drawn completely on the paper and edges will not be left incomplete. The shape and size of the continent can be traced using a map or a stencil. The exact dimension to be drawn is not important but the boundaries should be taken care of and must be accurate.
