Answers to True/False Statements:

• 1. Anglophones are people whose native language is English. True
• 2. English began to spread around the world in the 1700s. True
• 3. Most English speakers live in England. False
• 4. English is taught in all the countries in the world. Not Stated

Explanation:

• Statement 1 is true based on the definition of "Anglophones" provided in the text.
• Statement 2 is true, as the text mentions the spread of English thanks to the British Empire (17th-20th centuries), with the 1700s falling within this period.
• Statement 3 is false. While England is mentioned as a country where English is the primary native language, the text also states that the USA has approximately 245 million native speakers, which is significantly more than the UK's ~60 million.
• Statement 4 cannot be confirmed from the text. The text mentions that over 1 billion people learn English as a foreign language, but it does not state that it is taught in *all* countries worldwide.
