VI.Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False
Switzerland is a small country in central Europe. The total land area of this tiny country is only
15,941 square miles (41,288 square kilometers). The estimated population of this European nation in 1984
was 6,392,000.
Because this nation is so small, you might think that there is only one nation language. However, you
would be incorrect because there are three official languages. They are German, French and Italian. As a
result, Switzerland has three official names: Schweiz (in German), Suisse (in French), and Svizzera (in
Italian). All national laws are published in these languages.
The three official languages plus Romansch are the four national languages spoken in Switzerland. If
you look on Swiss coins or postage stamps, you will not find the name for this country in any of the national
languages. Instead, you will find the word “Helvetia”, the Latin name for this country.
23. German, French and Italian are three official languages in Switzerland.
24. Many people in Switzerland speak German, but probably only a very few speak Romansch.
25. Italian is an official language.
26. On Swiss coins, you will find the name Switzerland.
Choose the correct answer.

A. In the North
