What symbol of unity was completed on November 07, 1885?

  1. The Trans-Canada Highway

  2. The Canadian Confederation

  3. The last spike of the railway

  4. The Canadian Flag

The correct answer is: The last spike of the railway

On November 07, 1885, the last spike of the railway was completed in British Columbia which symbolized unity between eastern and western Canada. The Trans-Canada Highway was not completed until 1962, so it was not a symbol of unity in 1885. The Canadian Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867, which was also not the same date as the last spike. The Canadian Flag was officially adopted on February 15, 1965, which was also not the same date as the last spike.
