3. This mitten state is surrounded by the Great Lakes. To the south are Indiana and Ohio.

Answer: Michigan

Michigan is shaped like a glove. If you take Interstate 69 in Michigan to Highway 402 to Highway 401 to Highway 403 to Highway QEW in Canada it will take you to Niagara Falls and New York. This is a shorter route to drive than the alternative of driving from Michigan through Ohio and Pennsylvania.
4. This state is home to the largest naval port in the world. There is a west one of this state also. It is bordered by North Carolina and Kentucky. What state is it?

5. Which of these states is not preceded by "New"?

Answer: Carolina

Since people complained that Virginia doesn't have a direction in front of it, while technically one of the Virginia's does- West Virginia, I changed the question completely, otherwise it would not have been tricky enough.
