You have changed "island" to "continent" for no apparent reason.

Strictly speaking, the second rephrasing allows that there may be another continent the same size, whereas the original and the first rephrasing do not. To the extent that we do not expect another continent exactly the same size, this may not matter in practice.

Oops! I have made a mistake. It was a question in a test for my students. I will tell the fact.

And is this not a correct answer?
Australia is larger than any other continent in the world.

I suggest:

Australia is the smallest continent.
(This sentence needs to be rephrased using smaller.)

Possible answers:

In my opinion, people tend the think of Australia as a continent, even though it is the largest island in the world.

Considering the fact that land consists of less than 30% of the earth surface, I would rephrase it as " the biggest land mass in the world."
