Which U.S. president is honored in Paraguay by a region named after him?

• A. Rutherford B. Hayes
• B. George Washington
• C. Abraham Lincoln
• D. John F. Kennedy

Answer: (A)

A region in Paraguay is named to honor Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th U.S. president. Paraguay’s Presidente Hayes Department carries his name, and its capital is Villa Hayes, which reinforces the connection. This naming is a way countries remember foreign leaders who had an impact on their history or relations. The other presidents listed—George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy—do not have Paraguayan regions named after them, so they aren’t the ones commemorated in this context.
