1. In my opinion, correct answer should be: French and English colonial competition in North America was mainly A.economic. Both of them simultaneously started colonization of North America and both of them were in aggressive conflict, because they wanted to take control of main trade centers. This conflict started in 1701, when Britain took part in the defeat of Louis XIV.
2. As far as I remember, the answer is: Native Americans in the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands were hunters and gatherers before the arrival of Europeans. Native Americans who lived in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence lowlands are called Iroquoians. According to Jacques Cartier's notes they built their villages around grate lakes and forests. It was a good place to settle as there were many animals to hunt and also a good place to gather fish.
3. I'm definitely sure that the answer looks like this: One reason that Canada is well-suited to working with other nations is because of its multicultural population. Canada is known for various diasporas settled on its territory. I can distinguish three diasporas, which are the biggest in Canada: French; Ukrainian and British. It is a result of colonization and migration from other countries.
4. I'm completely sure that this is the answer: In the northern territories, the Inuit have developed a close relationship with the land. Inuit are also called Eskimos who inhabit in Northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia. Accordint to Inuit beliefs, they believe that everything have souls, like humans, and they treat nature with respect.
5. In my opinion the best choice is "Independence." Quebec separatist movement occurred in 1960's when the Parti Quebecois was formed. The main goal of this movement was to get sovereignty for Quebec. But this ideology was opposite to Canadian federalism, so there were years of conflicts about that,
6. If my memory serves me well, here is correct answer: The majority of immigrants from Asia have settled in British Columbia. The first asian immigrants who visited North America in 1788 were from Chine. But seventy years later there were a huge wave of Chinese immigration to British Columbia.
7. Compared with people in the Prairie Provinces, the residents of British Columbia are more likely to be employed in farming. Farming was the main source of wealth, as there were enough natural resources, which helped British Columbia become one of the richest provinces.
8. Canada’s symbolic ruler is still the British monarch. As far as I remember Queen Elizabeth is a head of state in Canada as it's British dominion, but she doesn't take part in Canadian politics. She's just a symbol.
9. In my view, the answer is: Many Canadians who criticized the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) were unhappy about trade barriers. Canadians were afraid of that they wouldn't be able to handle a competition, because it could cause higher prices on Canadian production. Canadian lumber is cheaper than US, but has the same quality and was more popular in US, that was one of the reasons to make FTA.
10. Canada must balance the economic opportunities offered by its natural resources with the need to preserve the environment. Preserving environment gives an opportunity to keep their resources and then to sell them for higher price. This is the most effective way.
11. I'm 100% sure that relocated companies are not considered a cultural link between Canada and the United States. They cultural relations include exchanging students, professionals and so on. But the main conflict is between US Cultural Imperialism and Canadian Cultural Sovereignty.
12. If I'm not mistaken, the answer is: The coastlines of the Atlantic Provinces provide excellent harbors for fishing fleets. The area which is rich for fishing is The Grand Banks off the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
13. Contact with people of European descent has changed the way of life of the Inuit. In 1950's Inuit people were supplied by different goods. Canadian government built villages for them. It was tough to adapt for them. Their way of life changed but traditions remain the same.
14. I'm definitely sure that this statement is correct: The percentage of people living in cities more than doubled in 100 years. Urbanization is the process of moving people from villages to cities. Firstly Canadians were mostly farmers as they had a lot of natural resources, but later Canada was faced with Industrialization.
15. I think, I'd go with this: The large number of rail lines in the Prairie Provinces reflects the importance of agriculture. If my memory seves me well Prairie Provinces consist of Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and they provide grain and cattle most of Canada's. Grain and cattle are referred to agriculture.
