Question

question 26 is based on the following passage.
canada is the second largest nation in the world, but it is defended by a tiny military less than half the size of the united states marine corps.
the canadian army has fewer than 300 troops protecting 3.5 million square miles of northern territory. an amusement park in edmonton has more submarines than the canadian navy. in fact, canadas territories are so sparsely monitored that a nazi weather station, built secretly on the canadian coast in 1943, went undiscovered until 1981.
nevertheless, canadas military has earned an international reputation for protecting the peace in other nations. canadian troops are regularly deployed on more than a dozen different united nations peacekeeping operations.

1. according to the passage, the armed forces are unable to

(1) defend themselves
(2) purchase submarines
(3) monitor canadian territo
(4) recruit enough soldiers
(5) stay out of united natio

Explanation:

The passage states that Canada's northern territory (3.5 million square miles) is protected by fewer than 300 troops, and a Nazi weather station on its coast went undiscovered for decades, showing the military cannot properly monitor its territory. Option (1) is incorrect as the passage doesn't say they can't defend themselves, just their military is small. Option (2) is wrong because it notes an amusement park has more submarines, not that they can't purchase them. Option (4) is not mentioned. Option (5) is incorrect as the passage says they participate in UN peacekeeping, so they can stay involved, not that they can't stay out.

Answer:

(3) monitor Canadian territory
