Who played a key role in the Canadian Confederation as a railway lawyer?

Sir George-Étienne Cartier
Alexander Graham Bell
Wilfrid Laurier
John Cabot

The correct answer is: Sir George-Étienne Cartier

Sir George-Étienne Cartier played a key role in the Canadian Confederation as a railway lawyer because he was instrumental in negotiating for the creation of the Dominion of Canada and advocating for the construction of a transcontinental railway that would unite the country. Option B, Alexander Graham Bell, is known for inventing the telephone and is not directly related to the Canadian Confederation. Option C, Wilfrid Laurier, was a prominent political figure in Canada during the late 19th and early 20th century, but his role in the Canadian Confederation was not as significant as Cartier's. Option D, John Cabot, was an Italian explorer who is known for his voyages to North America in the late 15th century, which occurred well before the Canadian Confederation in 1867. Therefore, Sir George-Étienne Cartier is the most correct option for this question.
