Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The estimated number of Indigenous children who attended residential schools in Canada is around 150,000. While some sources give higher numbers, such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's estimate of over 150,000, we can safely say that the number is in the range of tens of thousands. Option A (10,000 children) is too low, and option B (500,000 children) is too high. Option C (25,000 children) is closer to the actual number, but still lower than the estimated range. Therefore, D is the best choice.
