Which of the following statements about Florida's time zone is true?

• A. Most of Florida observes Eastern Time Zone
• B. Most of Florida observes Central Time Zone
• C. Florida has no part in Eastern Time Zone
• D. Florida is entirely in Mountain Time Zone

Answer: (A)

Florida spans two time zones. The bulk of the state—the populated peninsula and the eastern half of the Panhandle—follows Eastern Time, including major cities like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. A small stretch in the western Panhandle near the Florida–Alabama border observes Central Time. Because most of the land and people are in Eastern Time, the statement that most of Florida observes Eastern Time is true. The other options contradict these regional boundaries: Florida isn’t entirely Central or Mountain, and there is an Eastern Time portion in the state.
