Explanation:

Analyze the geographical facts about Canada

We need to fill in the blanks in the paragraph about Canada's geography. Let's analyze each sentence:

1. "Canada is a [blank 1] country."

• Canada is known for its massive size, so "large" or "huge" fits well. Given the context of the next sentence, "large" is the standard descriptor.

1. "It is the second [blank 2] country in the world."

• Geographically, Canada is the second-largest country in the world by total area (after Russia). Thus, the blank should be "largest".

1. "From [blank 3] to [blank 4], Canada is about 5,500 kilometres."

• The west-to-east distance of Canada (from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean) is approximately 5,500 kilometers. Therefore, the blanks should be "east" and "west" (or "west" and "east"). Looking at standard descriptions: "From east to west, Canada is about 5,500 kilometres."

1. "From [blank 5] to [blank 6], it is about 4,600 [blank 7]."

• The north-to-south extent of Canada is about 4,600 kilometers. Thus, "From north to south, it is about 4,600 kilometres." (or "km").

1. "Most people live in the [blank 8] part of Canada, near the American [blank 9]."

• The vast majority of Canadians live in the southern part of the country, close to the United States border. Thus, the blanks are "southern" and "border".

1. "The largest province of Canada is Quebec. The largest [blank 10] is Nunavut."

• Nunavut is Canada's largest federal territory. Thus, the blank is "territory".

"Canada is a large country. It is the second largest country in the world. From east to west, Canada is about 5,500 kilometres. From north to south, it is about 4,600 kilometres. Most people live in the southern part of Canada, near the American border. The largest province of Canada is Quebec. The largest territory is Nunavut."
