Who represents the Sovereign in each of the ten provinces?

  1. The Governor General

  2. The Prime Minister

  3. The Lieutenant Governor

  4. The Commissioner

The correct answer is: The Lieutenant Governor

The Lieutenant Governor represents the Sovereign, or the Queen, in each of the ten provinces. This is because Canada is a constitutional monarchy, meaning that the Queen is the head of state and is represented in each province by a Lieutenant Governor. The Governor General is the representative of the Sovereign on a federal level, not a provincial level. The Prime Minister and Commissioner are both positions within the government, but they do not represent the Sovereign.
