In Canada, which province is primarily French-speaking?

• A. Ontario
• B. Alberta
• C. Quebec
• D. Nova Scotia

Answer: (C)

The question tests understanding of language distribution across Canadian provinces. In Quebec, French is the dominant language used in daily life, schooling, media, and government, and the province has strong laws to protect and promote French (the Charter of the French Language). This combination—French as the majority language in everyday life and as the official language of the province—sets Quebec apart from the other options, where English is the primary language for most people. That’s why Quebec is identified as the primarily French-speaking province.
