Question

which statement about the people of ecuador is not true

A. about 50% of ecuadorians are mestizo

B. about one in four ecuadorians are of indian descend

C. ecuador’s population is divided between mountains and coastal lowlands

D. ecuadorians who speak quechua have the most political influence

Answer 1

The correct answer is - D. Ecuadorians that speak Quechua have the most political influence.

This statement is not true about Ecuador. People in Ecuador predominantly speak Spanish, and even though Quechua is an official language as well, it is not as dominant as the Spanish. The formal communication in the country, including the political circles too, is performed in Spanish language, and even though there's lots of politicians that speak Quechua, the language itself is not determining any higher status or bigger political influence whatsoever.
