What is Australia's primary language, and how many languages are spoken in the country?

  1. Chinese, over 100

  2. English, over 200

  3. French, over 50

  4. Spanish, over 150

The correct answer is: English, over 200

Australia's primary language is English, with over 200 languages spoken in the country. The other options are incorrect because Chinese, French, and Spanish are not the primary language in Australia and the number of languages listed for each option does not align with the number stated in the question. Option A (Chinese) is also incorrect because while it is one of the most commonly spoken languages in Australia after English, it is not the primary language. Option C (French) and D (Spanish) are unlikely as they are not official languages in Australia and do not have a significant number of speakers in the country. Therefore, B is the most accurate option.
