Turkey did not participate to the WW2, so the answer to the 5th question should be "neither".

Ottoman Empire was a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual state and all the officially recognized churches had their respective languages also recognized as official languages. So, Turkish was not the sole "official" language.

It was late in the war, but Turkey did declare war on Germany, on 2/23/45.

It never asks about the "sole" official language.

*Official language is/was Turkish" does refer to a sole language. If you want to make the question as you claimed it is, it should be "Turkish is or was an official language".

No, they're just making fun of the fact that the question in the quiz says "Word War" rather than "World War"
