Question

The cities of Montreal and Quebec, pictured above, were formed by which country looking for the Northwest Passage? A x Spain B x France C x England D x Germany

Answer 1

Hi there! There were several countries looking for the Northwest passage, but Montreal and Quebec was formed by Jacques Cartier, who was from France. In fact, Quebec was the first North American settlement by the French. Spain and England were looking for quicker routes to Asia as well, but did not establish Montreal or Quebec. Germany doesn't make sense at all. Therefore, the answer is B: France.

Answer 2

France is the answer. Paul de Chomedey is credited with having founded the places mentioned in your question. He was born in France, so one can make the assumption that France formed Montreal. This also makes sense, since French is spoken throughout Montreal.
