For the last question, Andorra is also part of the Iberian peninsula. And if you want to consider Gibraltar a country (I remember seeing somewhere on the forum that Admin's view is that if a territory has its own government or something along those lines, then it is a country) then that's another one.

The answer Spain and Portugal is correct. These two countries occupy the Iberian Peninsula. But their presence does not exclude the presence of other states

I disagree.
The way the question is formulated implies only 2 countries occupy it, because the number two was mentioned.
Same as if the question was "Which 2 states form the USA?" and the answer was "California and Florida".
The question should have been something like "Which of the following occupy the Iberian Peninsula?" then you could have as few or as many countries in the answer.
I disagree.Ok, but if we talk about how questions are written, then there is also a problem with question 3 : "What is the world's highest mountain?". According to your reference, you have at least 2 answers to this question : Everest or Chimborazo.The way the question is formulated implies only 2 countries occupy it, because the number two was mentioned.

That is a very interesting point I didn't know about. I've now spent about 1h reading various article about how Chimborazo is calculated to be the highest.
