Explanation
EU stands for the political and economic partnership of many European states known as the European Union. The other options either refer to companies, a generic term, or the euro currency and are not the official name.
Tips
- For acronyms of institutions, pick the official full name used in treaties and laws.
- Eliminate options that mention companies (e.g., Unternehmen) or the euro currency when the context is about a political body.
- Watch for keywords: Union (for political alliances), not terms like Einheit or Euro unless the acronym specifically includes them.
- Recall other common international acronyms in German (UNO, NATO, OSZE) to spot the pattern of formal names.
