German original (as asked in the real test)
Mit dem Beitritt der DDR zur Bundesrepublik Deutschland gehören die neuen Bundesländer nun auch …
- A zur Europäischen Union. ✓ Correct answer
- B zum Warschauer Pakt.
- C zur OPEC.
- D zur Europäischen Verteidigungsgemeinschaft.
Translation
With the accession of the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany, the new federal states now also belong to …
- A the European Union. ✓ Correct answer
- B the Warsaw Pact.
- C OPEC.
- D the European Defense Community.
Explanation
When the GDR joined the Federal Republic in 1990, the new eastern states automatically became part of the European Union too, since EU membership covers a member state's whole territory. The Warsaw Pact soon dissolved, OPEC is for oil-exporting countries, and the European Defence Community never took effect.
Tips
- Joining an existing member state means joining its international memberships too, including the EU.
- The Warsaw Pact was an Eastern Bloc alliance, the opposite direction from where reunified Germany was heading.
