Question:

Which country is an example of a nation with more than one official language?

Options:

Canada

China

France

Saudi Arabia

Correct Answer:

Canada

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1 - Canada

Canada is an example of a nation that has more than one official language, including both English and French.

It is commonly believed that nations are constituted by a group who share certain features such as descent, or language, or religion or ethnicity. But there is in fact no common set of characteristics which is present in all nations. Many nations do not have a common language, Canada is an example here. Canada includes English speaking as well as French speaking peoples. India also has a large number of languages which are spoken in different regions and by different communities. Nor do many nations have a common religion to unite them. The same could be said of other characteristics such as race or descent.

Other Options:

Mandarin Chinese is the official language of China.
French is the official language of France.
Arabic is the official language of Saudi Arabia.
