An Anglophone is defined as?

• A. A person whose first language is French
• B. A person whose first language is English
• C. A person who resides in Canada
• D. A person who can speak multiple languages

Answer: (B)

An Anglophone refers to a person whose first language is English. The term comes from Anglo- (English) and -phone (speaking), so it specifically labels the language someone uses most or as their primary means of communication. That’s why the option describing a person whose first language is English is the best fit. Residing in Canada or being able to speak several languages doesn’t define an Anglophone, since there are both English- and French-speaking communities there, and many people speak multiple languages regardless of their primary language.
