Explanation

The statement "In DC, The Washington Monument is central" is true. The Washington Monument is indeed located in the central part of Washington D.C. It is situated on the National Mall, which is a prominent national park in the city. The monument's location and towering height make it a prominent landmark and a symbol of the city.

The Vietnam War Veterans memorial is indeed a wall. The memorial, located in Washington D.C., consists of a black granite wall that is inscribed with the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who lost their lives during the Vietnam War. The wall is designed in a way that it appears to be sinking into the ground, creating a powerful and emotional experience for visitors. The design of the memorial was chosen through a national competition and has become a significant symbol of remembrance for those who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.

7. écouter

Explanation

The word "écouter" in French means "to listen". It does not mean "hear", "look", or "watch". Therefore, the correct answer is "listen".

Submit
8. En métro

Explanation

The correct answer is "by subway" because the phrase "en métro" in French translates to "by subway" in English. This indicates that the most appropriate mode of transportation in this context is the subway. The other options, such as "the underground" and "by segway," do not accurately convey the meaning of "en métro" and are therefore incorrect.

Submit
9. In DC, the Washington monument is a war memorial.

Explanation

The Washington Monument in DC is not a war memorial. It is actually an obelisk that was built to honor George Washington, the first president of the United States. While it does have historical significance and is a popular tourist attraction, it is not specifically dedicated to honoring war veterans or any specific military event. Therefore, the statement is false.

Submit
10. In DC, there are lots of museums and a "castle".

Explanation

The explanation for the given correct answer is that Washington DC is known for its numerous museums and one of them is called the "castle". This implies that there are indeed lots of museums and a "castle" in DC, making the statement true.

Submit
12. Espérer

Submit
14. Les Etats-Unis

Explanation

The given answer options are all different ways to refer to the country "The United States of America." "The US" and "The USA" are commonly used abbreviations for the country's name, while "America" is a shorter and more informal way to refer to the United States. Therefore, all of the answer options are correct and can be used interchangeably to refer to the United States.

Submit
15. The Vietnam War Veterans Memorial is a big statue.

Explanation

The statement given is "The Vietnam War Veterans Memorial is a big statue." The correct answer is False. The Vietnam War Veterans Memorial is not a big statue, but rather a memorial wall located in Washington D.C. It consists of black granite panels engraved with the names of soldiers who lost their lives during the Vietnam War. Therefore, it is not accurate to describe it as a big statue.

Submit
16. visiter

Explanation

The correct answer is "tour, visit" because both words are related to the act of going to a place for a specific purpose. A tour is a journey to various places, usually for sightseeing or educational purposes. Similarly, a visit refers to going to see someone or something, often for social or leisure purposes. Both words involve physically going somewhere and experiencing or observing something.

Submit
17. Le Capitole

Explanation

The correct answer is "The Capitol building, The Capitol." The given options are all related to the Capitol, which is a building in Washington, D.C. The term "Capitol" is often used to refer to the United States Capitol building, where the U.S. Congress meets. Therefore, both "The Capitol building" and "The Capitol" accurately describe the location in question. "The Capitol memorial" is not a correct description as there is no specific memorial associated with the Capitol building.

Submit
18. regarder

Explanation

The word "regarder" in French can be translated into English as "watch" or "look." Both of these options accurately convey the meaning of observing something with intention. "See" and "listen" do not fully capture the idea of actively focusing on something visually, while "look" is a suitable synonym for "watch."

Submit
19. le métro

Explanation

The correct answer is "the subway" and "the underground". These options refer to the same mode of transportation, which is an underground train system commonly found in cities. "The subway" is a term used in North America, while "the underground" is more commonly used in British English. Both phrases accurately describe a transportation system that operates below ground level. "A segway" is not a correct option as it refers to a two-wheeled personal transportation device.

Submit
20. Les Etats-Unis

Explanation

The correct answer options for this question are "The States," "The United States," and "The US." These options are all correct because they are different ways to refer to the country known as the United States of America. "The States" is a common nickname for the United States, "The United States" is the official name of the country, and "The US" is an abbreviation commonly used to refer to the United States.
