Which bird is described as large up to 10 pounds and 45 inches long?

• A. Pigeon
• B. Starling
• C. Canada Goose
• D. Crow

Answer: (C)

Size clues here point to a large waterfowl. A bird described as up to 10 pounds and about 45 inches long is best matched by the Canada Goose, which is among the largest wild geese in North America and commonly reaches that size range. The other options are much smaller: pigeons are compact, around a foot in length and well under a pound; starlings are tiny songbirds only a few inches long and light; crows are larger than pigeons and starlings but still far shorter than 45 inches and weigh under a couple of pounds. So the Canada Goose fits the given size description best.
