Question: Which Canadian war poem includes 'In Flanders fields'?
Answer options:
- Pauline Johnson ✅ John McCrae
- E.J. Pratt
- Margaret Atwood
Correct answer: John McCrae
Explanation: Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian medical officer during the First World War, composed the famous war poem "In Flanders Fields" in 1915, which established the poppy as Canada's symbol of remembrance. In contrast, the other options are incorrect as Pauline Johnson was a nineteenth-century Indigenous poet, E.J. Pratt was a twentieth-century epic narrative poet, and Margaret Atwood is a contemporary novelist. Discover Canada emphasizes McCrae's poem to teach candidates about Canada's military heritage. Test-takers should remember this historical connection, as questions regarding national symbols of remembrance and their creators frequently appear on the citizenship exam.
