Answer

Answer:

  1. B. English and French are the two official languages.
  2. C. Other countries also suffered financial distress.
  3. A. a crisis in the home mortgage banking sector

Brief Explanations:

  1. Canada has English and French as its two official languages. The Inuit language is not a dominant language in this context. French is not the only official language, and German is not an official language in Canada.
  2. The 2008 US economic downturn led to a global financial crisis. Other countries did not prosper due to lower US competition. Loaning money to the US was not a way for other countries to balance budgets. Stopping investment was not the main effect; rather, other countries suffered financial distress as well.
  3. The 2008 US economic downturn was mainly caused by a crisis in the home mortgage banking sector (sub - prime mortgage crisis). The stock market crash was a result of the mortgage crisis. A severe drought was not the cause, and the high - tech sector collapse was not the major cause of this particular downturn.
