Who represents the British Monarch in Canada, and has been chosen by the Prime Minister since 1935?

• A. Cabinet
• B. House of Commons
• C. Quebecois
• D. Governor General

Answer: (D)

The main idea is who acts as the monarch’s representative in Canada. In Canada's constitutional system, the Crown’s duties are carried out by the Governor General, who fulfills the monarch’s role on Canadian soil. The Governor General performs key functions such as giving royal assent to laws, summoning and dissolving Parliament on the Prime Minister’s advice, and representing Canada at official ceremonies and events abroad.

This appointment has been made on the advice of the Canadian Prime Minister for many decades, reflecting Canada's move toward domestic-led governance. That’s why the Governor General is the correct answer. The other options aren’t a fit: the Cabinet is a group of government ministers, not the monarch’s representative; the House of Commons is the elected legislative body; and Quebecois refers to a group of people, not a ceremonial or constitutional office.
