Who is Sir John A. Macdonald?

  1. Canada's second Prime Minister

  2. A famous Canadian explorer

  3. Canada's first Prime Minister; a lawyer and gifted politician.

  4. A Canadian war hero

The correct answer is: Canada's first Prime Minister; a lawyer and gifted politician.

Sir John A. Macdonald was Canada's first Prime Minister and a lawyer and gifted politician. Option A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe who Sir John A. Macdonald was. He was not Canada's second Prime Minister, nor was he an explorer or a war hero. This shows the importance of attention to detail and accurate information when answering this question.
