Where was the Quebec Conference held?

• A. Montreal
• B. Ottawa
• C. Toronto
• D. Quebec City

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is identifying where the Quebec Conference took place, a pivotal gathering on the road to Canadian Confederation. The Quebec Conference was held in Quebec City, Quebec, in 1864, as delegates from the British North American colonies met to work out the terms of union and the division of powers between federal and provincial governments. That’s why Quebec City is the correct answer. Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto were not the sites of this conference (Ottawa later became the capital, but not for this meeting), so they don’t fit the question.
