Who is the leader of state government?

• A. The Governor.
• B. The President.
• C. The Mayor.
• D. The Chief Justice.

Answer: (A)

State government is led by the governor, who serves as the chief executive of the state. The governor runs state programs, signs or vetoes laws passed by the state legislature, and appoints heads of state agencies. This is different from the President, who leads the country; the Mayor, who runs a city; and the Chief Justice, who heads the state’s highest court. So the leader of state government is the governor.
