Toronto is the capital of Canada.

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence about the National Capital. The guide writes: Ottawa, located on the Ottawa River, was chosen as the capital in 1857 by Queen Victoria, the great-great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. The status the test wants is therefore false — the capital of Canada is Ottawa, not Toronto.

Three precise commitments. Discover Canada commits the National Capital to THREE specific facts: (1) the city is Ottawa; (2) it sits on the Ottawa River; (3) it was chosen as the capital in 1857 by Queen Victoria. So the source pinpoints the capital city, its waterway, and the year and decision-maker behind its selection. Queen Victoria — described in the source as "the great-great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II" — chose Ottawa as the capital while it was still known as Bytown.

Ottawa's metropolitan size and Capital Region. Discover Canada commits Ottawa's modern profile to TWO specific facts: "Today it is Canada's fourth largest metropolitan area. The National Capital Region, 4,700 square" kilometres in extent, includes parts of both Ontario and Quebec. So Ottawa is one of Canada's larger cities — but importantly NOT the largest. Toronto is in fact larger by population — but Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario, not the capital of Canada itself.

Toronto is named in the source as Ontario's capital, not Canada's. Discover Canada commits the role of provincial capital to specific cities for each province and territory. The source's table of provinces and capitals lists "Ontario................................................................................. Toronto." So Toronto is named in Discover Canada as the capital of the province of Ontario — Canada's most populous province — but the country's capital is Ottawa, on the Ottawa River, in eastern Ontario near the Quebec border. The historical chain of events runs: Bytown was the original name of the small lumber-trade town on the Ottawa River; Queen Victoria chose Bytown (Ottawa) as the capital in 1857; the Parliament Buildings were completed in the 1860s; Confederation in 1867 made Ottawa the capital of the new Dominion of Canada. So when the test asks whether Toronto is the capital of Canada, the source-precise answer is false — Toronto is Ontario's capital; the country's capital is Ottawa.

The question is testing whether new citizens know Canada's national capital. Discover Canada commits to one capital: Ottawa. So the statement that Toronto is the capital of Canada is false.

The wrong answer ("True") reverses the source — Toronto is named in Discover Canada as the capital of Ontario, not the capital of the country. The named national capital is Ottawa, located on the Ottawa River, chosen in 1857 by Queen Victoria. Only the false answer matches the source.
