    The currency was Guilder, but Netherlands started to unite in Euro in early 2002

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "True" is that the statement accurately states that the currency of the Netherlands was the Guilder, but in early 2002, the country started to transition and unite with other European countries in adopting the Euro as their currency. This transition from the Guilder to the Euro reflects the historical and economic integration of the Netherlands into the European Union.

    Asking cheese on your Pizza and Pasta is good in Italy

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In Italy, it is not common to put cheese on both pizza and pasta. Traditional Italian pizza usually does not have cheese on top, except for certain types like Margherita. Similarly, authentic Italian pasta dishes are typically served without cheese, as the flavors of the pasta and sauce are meant to shine on their own. Adding cheese to both pizza and pasta is more common in other countries, but not in Italy. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If you late 10 minutes, this will have any negative consequences. It happens in Italy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that being late for 10 minutes in Italy will have negative consequences. The correct answer is "False" because the statement does not provide any information or context to support this claim. It is not logical to assume that being late for 10 minutes in Italy will always result in negative consequences, as it depends on various factors such as the specific situation, culture, and individual circumstances. Therefore, the given statement is not accurate or conclusive.
