If you carefully look at a map you will discover that Africa is a part of all 4 hemispheres. Or you can simply look at the link I provided!

A hemisphere is not divided into four parts but only 2, so there cannot be 4 hemispheres. The only hemisphere there are are North and South, and if taken another way East and West although unlike North and South, the East/West hemisphere can be moved depending on where you want to put it!

Each of the seven continents is located in at least two hemispheres.
The continent of Africa is located in the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres all the four hemispheres. . Both the equator, and Prime Meridian run through Africa.

I don't know, but you can search for the Greenwich meridian and the Ecuador in google earth or just in some world atlas. See the point in which they cross, and the continent to which this point belongs is the one you're looking for.
By the way, Antarctica is not part of the north hemisphere.

Africa is in the Northern and Southern, and it is in the Eastern and Western. Technically, it isn't in the South-Eastern quadrant, but I don't think that disqualifies it because a hemisphere is 1/2 sphere, not 1/4.
Hope this helps!

READ YOUR BOOK!!
...its Antarticia
Edit:
No, Antarticia is NOT correct. I had brain fade....
The prime meridian and the equator meet at 0° - 0° in the Atlantic Ocean just southwest of Africa. Africa is in three of the quadrants, NE, NW, and SE, but not SW.
But, as pointed out later in this section, Africa does lie in both the northern and southern hemispheres as it is divided by the equator. Also, the prime meridian passes through Africa, so it also lies in both the eastern and western hemispheres.
The International Date Line and the equator 0° - 180° meet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
I stand corrected, its Africa
Thinking too much has made my brain hurt.

A problem occurred with your semantics here. By definition there are two heimspheres, not four.

Has to be Africa but that's a guess do not take my word for it.
