Translation
In Germany, a mayor is ...
- A the head of a school.
- B the head of a bank.
- C the head of a municipality. ✓ Correct answer
- D the chairperson of a party.
Explanation
In Germany, a Bürgermeister(in) is the head of a municipality or town (Gemeinde/Stadt). They lead local administration and represent the community. School leaders are principals, party leaders chair parties, and banks have managers/CEOs, not mayors.
Tips
- Match titles to institutions: Bürgermeister(in) = local municipality; Schulleiter(in) = school; Parteivorsitzende(r) = political party; Bankchef(in) = bank. Look for keywords like Gemeinde/Stadt for municipal leadership. Eliminate options that clearly belong to education, finance, or party politics rather than local government.
