Wait — S. Lansing is Michigan’s capital. That’s a mistake in the key? Let’s check again.
Looking carefully at the options:
- N. Augusta — that’s Georgia’s capital? No — Georgia is Atlanta (P).
Actually, Augusta is the capital of Maine? ✘ No — Maine’s capital is Augusta.
But in the options, we have:
> N. Augusta
> S. Lansing
So:
✔ Maine — N. Augusta
✔ Michigan — S. Lansing
Continuing:
20. Maryland — X. Annapolis
21. Massachusetts — W. Boston
22. Michigan — S. Lansing
23. Minnesota — V. Saint Paul
24. Mississippi — J. Jefferson City ✘ — Wait, Jefferson City is Missouri’s capital.
