Question: What is the name of the body of water Henry Hudson explored in 1610?

Answer options:

  • Hudson Bay
  • Hudson River
  • Hudson Strait ✅ All of the above

Correct answer: All of the above

Explanation: The correct answer is all of the above because English explorer Henry Hudson mapped and explored all three of these major waterways during his voyages of discovery, navigating the Hudson River in 1609 before exploring the Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay during his fateful 1610 expedition. Selecting only one of these options is incorrect because it neglects his collective achievements which are all named in his honour. Under the official Discover Canada syllabus, candidates must learn about the early European explorers who mapped the country. Memorizing the key geographic discoveries of figures like Hudson is highly relevant for scoring well on history questions on the citizenship test.
