What state is connected to the legend about the naming of 'Sweet Georgia Brown'?

• A. Georgia.
• B. Alabama.
• C. Florida.
• D. North Carolina.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how a place name in a song title can reflect a naming legend. For this tune, a popular story says it was named after a woman named Georgia Brown who came from Georgia. That link between the person’s origin and the state makes Georgia the state connected to the legend. The other states—Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina—aren’t part of that widely told tale, so they don’t fit the clue embedded in the title.
