Identify the river to the west of Manhattan.

  1. Hudson River

  2. East River

  3. West Side River

  4. Manhattan River

The correct answer is: Hudson River

The correct answer is the Hudson River (Option A). The Hudson River is to the west of Manhattan and flows south from upstate New York, eventually emptying into the New York Harbor. It is a significant landmark in New York City, separating Manhattan from New Jersey. The East River (Option B) is actually to the east of Manhattan, not the west. Options C and D, West Side River and Manhattan River, are not real bodies of water in New York City.
