Which option lists Michigan's two peninsulas?

• A. East Peninsula and West Peninsula
• B. Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula
• C. Northern Peninsula and Southern Peninsula
• D. Central Peninsula and Peripheral Peninsula

Answer: (B)

Michigan is known for its two peninsulas that spread into the Great Lakes. These are the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula. The Upper Peninsula lies to the north of the state, separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac and connected by the Mackinac Bridge. The Lower Peninsula sits to the south and stretches toward the Midwest, often described as mitten-shaped. Since there aren’t other named peninsulas like East/West or Northern/Southern for the state, these two—Upper and Lower—are the ones being asked about.
