Explanation:

- The sentence in question is "both male and female mammoths had very large tusks and walked ______ every continent except Australia."

- Option 1: "into" does not fit well in the context as it suggests entering something, which is not applicable for how mammoths lived.

- Option 2: "on" is suitable because it refers to being present or existing upon a surface, like continents. This makes sense for mammoths walking on continents.

- Option 3: "over" implies moving above or across something, which is not applicable here as it suggests movement through the air.

- Option 4: "under" conveys beneath something, which contradicts the context because continents cannot cover the mammoths from above while walking.

Correct Answer: "on" fits the context correctly.
