Answer 1

The statement about Canada that isn't true is D. The word “Montréal” comes from a Native American word meaning “mountain.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that Lief Ericsson, a Viking, first explored the Canadian coast of Labrador, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia in 1001 AD. Also, the British took New France away from France as a result of a battle fought on the Plains of Abraham.

Furthermore, François 1er sent explorers to find a passage west to Alaska. On the other hand, the word “Montréal” does not come from a Native American word meaning “mountain.”
