Which of the following statements does not describe the Grand Canyon?

Answer
A
It is the longest canyon in the United States.
B
It was created by the Mississippi River.
C
It is over 277 miles long.
D
It is about a mile deep.

Explanation

The Grand Canyon was carved mainly by the Colorado River, not the Mississippi River. It is over 277 miles long and about a mile deep, so those statements describe it. Therefore, “It was created by the Mississippi River” does not describe the Grand Canyon.
