Who was Lord Durham?

  1. An English poet

  2. A French explorer

  3. An American industrialist

  4. An English reformer who recommended responsible government for Canada

The correct answer is: An English reformer who recommended responsible government for Canada

Lord Durham was an English reformer who played a significant role in shaping Canada's government. He was not an English poet (A), as his primary occupation was not writing poetry. He was also not a French explorer (B) as his focus was primarily on political reform, not exploration. He was also not an American industrialist (C), as he was an English politician who did not have a business background.
