Question 1 implies that only one language is spoken in Russia, which is patently false.
Also, the difference between a big vocabulary and wisdom is the difference between a cane and eyes.

"Question 1 implies ..."
Maybe so. But as worded, it accommodates virtually any language (not just the obvious one) as the correct answer, because in a large population, virtually any language will spoken by someone, thus making the question even easier than it seems.
BTW, it's a joke.
