Where did the Vikings first settle in Canada?

  1. Ontario and Quebec

  2. Labrador and the island of Newfoundland

  3. Alberta and British Columbia

  4. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island

The correct answer is: Labrador and the island of Newfoundland

The Vikings first settled in Canada on the island of Newfoundland and in Labrador, establishing a settlement known as "Vinland." Alberta and British Columbia were not explored by the Vikings and Ontario and Quebec were not yet inhabited by Europeans at the time of the Viking settlements. Although Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are also on the East Coast of Canada, they were not among the first places the Vikings settled. Therefore, B is the most accurate answer.
