    5. What's the name of force that 250,000 Canadians joined during the war years?

    • RCN

    • RCAF

    • CAF

    Correct Answer
    A. RCAF
    Explanation
    During the war years, 250,000 Canadians joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The RCAF is the correct answer because it was the branch of the Canadian military that focused on aviation and played a crucial role during World War II. The RCN refers to the Royal Canadian Navy, which is not the correct answer as it does not pertain to the question about the force that Canadians joined during the war years. CAF stands for Canadian Armed Forces, which is a broader term encompassing all branches of the military, but it is not the specific force mentioned in the question.

    • Inflation

    Correct Answer
    A. Inflation
    Explanation
    During World War 2, Canada's economy suffered from inflation. This means that the general price level of goods and services increased, leading to a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Inflation can be caused by various factors, such as increased government spending, a decrease in the supply of goods due to war efforts, and increased demand for goods and services. Inflation during the war meant that Canadians had to pay more for everyday items, which put a strain on their finances and contributed to the economic hardships experienced during this time.
