Cabinet Ministers are responsible for running federal government departments.

Discover Canada records this in one direct sentence about Cabinet ministers. The guide writes: The Prime Minister chooses the ministers of the Crown, most of them from among members of the House of Commons. Cabinet ministers are responsible for running the federal government departments. The status the test wants is therefore true — Cabinet ministers are indeed responsible for running federal government departments.

Three precise commitments. Discover Canada commits Cabinet ministers to THREE specific facts: (1) they are chosen by the Prime Minister; (2) most are from among members of the House of Commons; (3) they are responsible for running the federal government departments. So the source pinpoints the named selection rule, the named source pool, and the named operational responsibility.

The Cabinet is the named central decision-making body. Discover Canada commits the named Cabinet to a key paired role: "The Prime Minister and the Cabinet ministers are called the Cabinet and they make important decisions about how the country is governed. They prepare the budget and propose most new laws." So the named Cabinet is the country's main executive group — preparing the named budget, proposing named new laws, and running the named federal government departments.

Cabinet ministers are accountable to Parliament. Discover Canada commits Cabinet ministers to a named accountability rule: "Cabinet ministers are responsible to the elected representatives, which means they must retain the 'confidence of the House' and have to resign if they are defeated in a non-confidence vote." So the named departmental responsibility is paired with parliamentary accountability — Cabinet ministers run their departments but must hold the named confidence of the elected House of Commons. Their decisions can be questioned by all members of the House of Commons. The wider context: the Cabinet runs the named operations of government — handling everything from defence, foreign policy, currency, criminal law, and citizenship at the federal level. Each Cabinet minister leads a specific federal department in line with these named responsibilities. So when the test asks whether Cabinet ministers are responsible for running federal government departments, the source-precise answer is true.

The question is testing whether new citizens know the Cabinet ministers' role. Discover Canada commits to one direct named description: "Cabinet ministers are responsible for running the federal government departments." The right test answer matches that — true.

The wrong answer ("False") reverses the source — Cabinet ministers ARE responsible for running federal departments. The named departmental responsibility is exact in the source. Only the true answer matches.
