How many Great Lakes do Canada and the US share?

  1. Five

  2. Four

  3. Six

  4. Three

The correct answer is: Five

The Great Lakes consist of 5 of the largest lakes in North America Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario. Although both Canada and the US share all 5 lakes, they do not share any additional lakes, making the answer of 5 the most accurate and complete choice. Additionally, options B, C, and D are all incorrect as they either overestimate or underestimate the number of shared Great Lakes between the two countries.
