In which year did Nova Scotia attain full responsible government?

  1. 1847-48

  2. 1867

  3. 1871

  4. 1898

The correct answer is: 1847-48

The correct answer is A 1847-48. Nova Scotia was one of the four provinces that made up the Dominion of Canada in 1867, however, it wasn't until 1847 and 1848 that the province officially attained full responsible government. Option B (1867) is incorrect because while this was the year that Nova Scotia joined the Dominion of Canada, it isn't the year they achieved full responsible government. Option C (1871) is also incorrect as this is the year that British Columbia and Prince Edward Island joined the Dominion of Canada. Option D (1898) is also incorrect as this is the year that the Yukon Territory was formed, which is not directly related to Nova Scotia's attainment of responsible government. Therefore, the correct answer is A (1847-48).
