What percent of the population speak Chinese at home in Vancouver?

  1. 10%

  2. 13%

  3. 7%

  4. 15%

The correct answer is: 13%

Some possible incorrect explanations could be - Option A: 10% is incorrect because the latest census data shows that 10.4% of Vancouver residents speak a "Chinese language" at home, which includes multiple dialects besides Mandarin and Cantonese. The question specifically asks for Chinese language, not all Chinese languages combined. - Option C: 7% is incorrect because that percentage represents those who have listed Chinese as their mother tongue (first language), not those who speak it at home. This means the actual number of people speaking Chinese at home is likely higher than 7%. - Option D: 15% is incorrect because that percentage represents all speakers of Chinese languages (including non-Vancouver residents) in the Metro Vancouver region, not just in Vancouver itself. The question only asks for the population within Vancouver city limits.
