Who was Sir George-Étienne Cartier?

  1. A railway lawyer and key architect of Confederation

  2. Canada's first Prime Minister

  3. The father of Manitoba

  4. The Scottish-born director of the Canadian Pacific Railway

The correct answer is: A railway lawyer and key architect of Confederation

Sir George-Étienne Cartier was a Canadian statesman known for his role as a railway lawyer and key architect of Confederation. While Cartier was a prominent figure in Canadian politics, he was not the first Prime Minister of Canada (the correct answer is B - Sir John A. Macdonald), nor was he known as the father of Manitoba (the correct answer is C - Louis Riel). Additionally, while Cartier was a key figure in the development of the Canadian Pacific Railway, he was not its director (the correct answer is D - William Cornelius Van Horne). Therefore, A is the best answer as it correctly identifies Cartier's occupation and notable contributions to Canadian history.
