__________ is the only African country that has Spanish as its official language.

__________ is the only African country that has Spanish as its official language.

• A. Equatorial Guinea
• B. Angola
• C. Morocco
• D. Ghana

Answer: (A)

Spanish being an official language in a country in Africa is unique and tied to that country’s history. Equatorial Guinea became a Spanish colony, and Spanish was adopted as a formal language for government, education, and public life. Because of this history, Spanish remains an official language today, making it the only African country with that status. The other nations listed have different colonial legacies and official languages—Portuguese in Angola, Arabic (and local languages) in Morocco, and English in Ghana—so Spanish does not hold official status there.
