Who represents the Sovereign in each of the ten provinces?

  1. the Premier

  2. the Governor General

  3. the Prime Minister

  4. The Lieutenant Governor

The correct answer is: The Lieutenant Governor

The Lieutenant Governor is the representative of the Sovereign in each of the ten provinces of Canada. The Premier is the head of the provincial government and is not a representative of the Sovereign. The Governor General is the federal representative of the Sovereign and does not have a direct role in the provinces. The Prime Minister is the leader of the federal government and is also not a representative of the Sovereign in the provinces.
