Name one state that borders Canada. (65/20 version)

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

Michigan (or Maine, New York, Washington, and others)

  1. A Arizona
  2. B Michigan (or Maine, New York, Washington, and others)
  3. C Florida
  4. D Texas

Why this is the answer

States that border Canada include Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and several others — naming any one is correct on this 65/20 civics question. Michigan, for example, shares a northern border with Canada. Florida, Texas, and Arizona are southern or border states that do not touch Canada (Texas and Arizona border Mexico). Being able to name a state on the northern border with Canada is part of the geography section. A related official question asks for a state that borders Mexico, where answers include California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
