Explanation:

(1) There is a difference between an isolated island and a cluster of islands, like the Bahamas. When we talk about a cluster of islands, the appropiate term is archipielago.

(2) The rivers drains land within its current, and also by its tributaries. The portion of land drained by the river and its tributaries is what we call drain basin or basin.

(3) A continent groups not only a large mass of land, but also the surrounding islands and its peninsulas. In order to differentiate the ''principal'' part of the continent the word ''mainland'' it is used.

(4) In this case is better an example. Very known peninsulas are Florida peninsula, Yucatan peninsula or the Iberian peninsula.
