Which of these was one of the 13 original states?

AVermont
BGeorgia
CArizona
DMontana
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Georgia
1. The 13 original states were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. 2. Georgia is on that list, so it is the answer. 3. Vermont is not on the list, even though it borders Canada and joined the country early. 4. Arizona is one of the states that borders Mexico, far from the original thirteen. 5. Montana borders Canada and was also not one of the original states. 6. The trap is that all four are real states, so only the original list separates them. _Source: USCIS Civics Flash Cards M-623 (rev. 02/12), public domain, official civics question 64_
