Problem: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged all 70 nations attending a conference on Afghanistan's future to help the country succeed. She told delegates at the one-day event in The Hague that the international effort there had been "undermanned and underfunded" over recent years. Among the countries to offer help has been US foe Iran. The conference comes after the US announced a major policy rethink on its approach towards Afghanistan. The meeting, called by the UN, comes amid widespread concern that not enough progress has been made since the US-led invasion in 2001. Support for Afghan reconstruction is being sought beyond the mainly-Western countries which have troops there.

Based on the paragraph above can we conclude that "the invasion was led by the US"?

A: Yes

Problem: Canada is officially a bilingual country but, with nearly 60% of the population speaking English as their mother-tongue, and only 24% speaking French as their first language, some people are questioning whether Canada is truly a bilingual nation or rather, a bilingual nation on paper only. French is not the only linguistic minority in Canada, and some of the languages spoken, in order of popularity, are Chinese, Italian, German, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Ukrainian, Arabic, Dutch, Tagalog, Greek, Vietnamese, Cree and Inuktitut.

Based on the paragraph above can we conclude that "More English speaking citizens are moving towards speaking French to help keep the French Canadian culture alive."?

A: It's impossible to say
