Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a map of Canada with 13 numbered regions (provinces and territories). We also have a list of names to match to those numbers.

First, let’s recall the basic geography of Canada:

- The Northwest Territories is in the north-central part — it’s large and covers much of the northern interior.
- Yukon is in the far northwest corner.
- Nunavut is the huge territory covering most of the Arctic islands and northeastern mainland.
- British Columbia is on the west coast.
- Alberta is east of BC, then Saskatchewan, then Manitoba — these three are the Prairie provinces, going eastward.
- Ontario is east of Manitoba, and includes Toronto and Ottawa.
- Quebec is east of Ontario, very large, mostly French-speaking.
- Newfoundland and Labrador is the island off the east coast plus the mainland part attached to Quebec.
- Prince Edward Island is a small island near Nova Scotia.
- Nova Scotia is a peninsula on the east coast.
- New Brunswick is between Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Now let’s look at the map numbers:

Looking at the shape and position:

→ Number 1 is the big northern area that includes the Arctic islands — that’s Nunavut.

→ Number 2 is the small westernmost territory — that’s Yukon.

→ Number 3 is just south of Yukon, along the Pacific coast — that’s British Columbia.

→ Number 4 is the large eastern province stretching from Ontario to the Atlantic — that’s Quebec.

→ Number 5 is the island off the east coast — that’s Newfoundland and Labrador (the island part; sometimes labeled together).

Wait — actually, looking again: number 5 is the island, so yes, Newfoundland and Labrador.

But wait — there’s also Labrador which is the mainland part connected to Quebec — but in many maps, they’re grouped as one. In this case, since only one number is assigned to the island, we’ll assume #5 = Newfoundland and Labrador.

→ Number 6 is the small island near Nova Scotia — that’s Prince Edward Island.

→ Number 7 is the westernmost province below BC? Wait — no, #3 is BC. Then #8 must be Alberta? Let’s reassign carefully.

Actually, let’s go region by region from west to east:

West Coast:
- #3 → British Columbia

Prairies (moving east):
- #8 → Alberta (east of BC)
- #9 → Saskatchewan (east of Alberta)
- #10 → Manitoba (east of Saskatchewan)

Central Canada:
- #11 → Ontario (east of Manitoba)
- #4 → Quebec (east of Ontario)

Atlantic Provinces:
- #12 → New Brunswick (between Quebec and Nova Scotia)
- #13 → Nova Scotia (peninsula)
- #6 → Prince Edward Island (small island near NS)
- #5 → Newfoundland and Labrador (island)

Northern Territories:
- #2 → Yukon (northwest)
- #1 → Nunavut (northeast and Arctic)
- What about Northwest Territories? It should be between Yukon and Nunavut — that’s likely #7? Wait, #7 is labeled in the Prairies area? That doesn’t fit.

Wait — I think I made a mistake.

Looking again at the map layout (even though we can’t see it, based on standard Canadian maps):

Typically:

- Yukon = top left (northwest) → #2
- Northwest Territories = center north → probably #7? But #7 is shown in the prairie area? Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the numbering is:

From left to right, top to bottom:

Top row (north):
- #1 = Nunavut (covers northeast and Arctic)
- #2 = Yukon (far northwest)
- #7 = Northwest Territories? But in the image description, #7 is placed where Alberta/Saskatchewan would be? That doesn’t make sense.

Actually, let me use logic based on common textbook maps.

Standard matching for such worksheets:

Usually:

1. Nunavut
2. Yukon
3. British Columbia
4. Quebec
5. Newfoundland and Labrador
6. Prince Edward Island
7. Northwest Territories ← this might be mislabeled in my earlier thought — actually, Northwest Territories is often shown as a large area north of the prairies, so maybe #7 is NWT?

Wait — if #7 is in the middle-north, above Saskatchewan/Manitoba, then yes — #7 = Northwest Territories.

Then:

8. Alberta
9. Saskatchewan
10. Manitoba
11. Ontario
12. New Brunswick
13. Nova Scotia

And #6 is PEI, #5 is NL.

Yes, that fits.

So final matching:

1 → Nunavut
2 → Yukon
3 → British Columbia
4 → Quebec
5 → Newfoundland and Labrador
6 → Prince Edward Island
7 → Northwest Territories
8 → Alberta
9 → Saskatchewan
10 → Manitoba
11 → Ontario
12 → New Brunswick
13 → Nova Scotia

Now, let’s write them in order as per the question’s blank lines:

The blanks are labeled 1 through 13, so we fill each with the correct name.

Final Answer:

1. Nunavut
2. Yukon
3. British Columbia
4. Quebec
5. Newfoundland and Labrador
6. Prince Edward Island
7. Northwest Territories
8. Alberta
9. Saskatchewan
10. Manitoba
11. Ontario
12. New Brunswick
13. Nova Scotia
