Was North America once much closer to the Straits of Gibraltar?
Yes, this is true. If you look at a map/picture of the continents, you could see that the continents fit together like a puzzle piece. This is because at one time, they were all connected, but the continents constantly move (plate tectonics). Over millions of years, erosion has changed the coastlines, for example, and you might have trouble exactly placing the continents in their previous state. Africa (which is exactly south of the Strait of Gibraltar) would fit in with North and South America right where the Caribbean islands are today.

What strait separates Denmark and Sweden?
The Øresund/Öresund strait. (strait 0 'sund' in both languages). The width of the strait varies between 4 km and 28 km - the shortest distance being between Helsingør (DK) and Helsingborg (SE). It has annual traffic of 40.000+ ships (> 50 tonnes) per year, which makes it one of the most busy waterways in the world. For approx 400 years (1429 to 1857) ships had to pay a toll to the Danish King (later the state) to pass the strait - for many years this was his biggest source of revenue.
