Which one of the following pairs of City and Lake is not correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The pair Detroit: Superior is not correctly matched. Detroit is located on the Detroit River, which connects Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie. While it is a major port in the Great Lakes system, it does not border Lake Superior. In contrast, Buffalo is a major port on Lake Erie [1]. Milwaukee is situated on the western shore of Lake Michigan. Toronto is the largest Canadian city bordering Lake Ontario [4]. Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake by surface area, is associated with cities like Duluth and Thunder Bay rather than Detroit [1]. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system serves as a vital commercial waterway, with various canals like the Welland and Soo connecting these bodies of water to facilitate inland navigation [3].
