Answer 5

A paddle.

Max B never paddled a canoe in his life.  Oars are used on row boats.

An oar is NOT the same thing as a canoe paddle. It is shaped differently and it is used differently.  Not the same thing at all.

Answer 6

an oar

Answer 7

To paddle a canoe one would most commonly use a paddle.  The asker asked what object is use to PADDLE a canoe.

Canoes can be propelled by other methods:

Some do have oar locks, one, can use oars in their ore locks to ROW a canoe.  One can use sails, to sail, or a motor or a square end canoe to motor the canoe. One can portage a canoe by carrying on your shoulders from one point to another.

Although, paddles are the normal means of propelling  a canoe with oars sometimes used to row, technically one person could use a single oar, not in an oar lock to paddle a canoe.

Other objects required to paddle a canoe would include the canoe itself and the paddler.
