I don't understand some of the comments. Can't people read the question beginning with an A and ending with an A.

Thomas Horwood, the question asked how many US states begin AND end with the letter A. That is three. No, we don’t count American Samoa because it is not a state.
Janis Bentley Alderman
What about North and South Carolina and North and South Dakota?

The question is how many states begin AND end with the letter A. The only answer is 3. Arkansas ends with S and American Samoa is not a state.
