German original (as asked in the real test)
Welche der folgenden Auflistungen enthält nur Bundesländer, die zum Gebiet der früheren DDR gehörten?
- A Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hessen, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg
- B Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen ✓ Correct answer
- C Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Thüringen, Sachsen
- D Sachsen, Thüringen, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Brandenburg
Translation
Which of the following lists contains only federal states that were part of the former GDR?
- A Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg
- B Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia ✓ Correct answer
- C Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Thuringia, Saxony
- D Saxony, Thuringia, Hesse, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg
Explanation
The five states that made up the former GDR are Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, plus East Berlin. A list mixing in Bavaria, Hesse or Lower Saxony is wrong, since those were West German states.
Tips
- Learn the five names as one set, they never mix with western states in a correct list.
- If even one western state like Hesse or North Rhine-Westphalia appears, rule out that whole list.
