Who was Major-General Robert Ross?

A military officer that led an expedition from Nova Scotia that burned down the White House and other public buildings in Washington, DC
A Canadian explorer
The first Prime Minister of Nova Scotia
A British diplomat involved in the treaty of Ghent

The correct answer is: A military officer that led an expedition from Nova Scotia that burned down the White House and other public buildings in Washington, DC

Major-General Robert Ross was not a Canadian explorer (B), as he was a military officer. He was also not the first Prime Minister of Nova Scotia (C), as he served in the British military and not in politics. He was also not a British diplomat involved in the treaty of Ghent (D), as that was John Quincy Adams. So the correct answer is A.
