What is the meaning of the Remembrance Day poppy?

  1. To celebrate the end of wars

  2. To signify peace negotiations

  3. To remember the sacrifice of Canadians who have served or died in wars up to the present day

  4. To honor the Canadian Armed Forces

The correct answer is: To remember the sacrifice of Canadians who have served or died in wars up to the present day

The wrong answers might be tempting as they all touch upon themes of peace and remembrance. However, the meaning of the Remembrance Day poppy, or the red poppy, is specifically to remember the sacrifice of Canadians who have served or died in wars. Option A and B are too broad and general to encompass the specific purpose of the poppy, while option D only includes a specific group (the Canadian Armed Forces) rather than all Canadians who have served or died in wars.
