Answer 1

You did pretty well but you are wrong on answers 1 (Asia), 2, 4, 6, and you didn't answer question 7.

1. Asia is a continent not a nation; it holds the nations of China South and North Korea among very many others. Japan, Tawian, the Philipians, Vietnam, Laos and many other nations are in the Eastern World.

2. Accorging to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indochina
"Indochina comprises the territory of the following countries: in strict sense, only the former colonial French Indochina: Cambodia, Laos ,Vietnam."

3. Are correct but here are some more:
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East
"The Middle East defines a geographical area, but does not have precise defined borders. The most common and highly arbitrary definition includes: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, the Palestinian territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen."

4. Urkaine is in Eastern Europe, and Russia is considered to be so but not according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Europe
"This line runs along what are now the eastern boundaries separating Norway, Finland, Estonia and Latvia from Russia, continues east of Lithuania, cuts in northwestern Ukraine, swings westward separating Transylvania from the rest of Romania, and then along the line now separating Slovenia, Croatia and northern Serbia from the rest of ex-Yugoslavia."

5. Is correct here are some more:
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Europe
"the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland; The British Isles: Ireland and the United Kingdom; Germany; the Alps: Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland; the Benelux countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg; France, Monaco; the Italian peninsula: Italy, San Marino, and Vatican City, Malta; Greece, the Iberian peninsula: Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar (a British Overseas Territory)."

6. Would be Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland; The British Isles: Ireland and the United Kingdom.

7. According to Wikpedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asia
"It is largely coextensive with Turkestan. Roughly speaking, Central Asia consists of states like Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. In geopolitical contexts, the states of Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan are often meant."

To find these answers I simply typed the region into Wikipedia and quoted the results. Only question 6 requried any real thought.

Answer 2

1. Correct. Although it would help if they asked about the Far East. Because depending on where you are in the world "the East" is not as descriptive as the Far East.

2. Sounds correct to me.
3. Turkey is more of a European nation. So, to be safe I would put Jordan, Lebanon, Etc.
4. Other Eastern European Countries: Romania, Czech Republic. Russia is Eastern European and so is the Ukraine.
5. United Kingdom is spelled wrong. Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. So, Norway, Sweden, Spain are good alternatives.
6. The United Nations is an organization. Norway and Sweden would work.
7. Central Asia: Many of the ending in "stan". Look on a map. Since you didn't try look it up for your homework.

Answer 3

Try looking at a world map, and you'll see that:
Indonesia isn't in Indochina. Try Laos or Cambodia.
Turkey is borderline Middle East. Better would be Lebanon, Israel or Kuwait.
United Nation isn't a country. Try Sweden or Germany.
Kazakhstan, Georgia and Tajikistan are in Central Asia.

Answer 4

I might suggest you do this over and use maps on the net, a search engine and, perhaps, an atlas. There is no sense telling you the answers because your learning is not so much to know where these areas of the world are but to learn how to find certain information.
