Explanation
The flag of the European Union features a circle of 12 golden stars on a blue background. The stars represent the ideals of unity, solidarity, and harmony among the peoples of Europe. The number 12 is symbolic (representing completeness) and does not correspond to the number of member states, which has varied over time.
Tips
- Look for the distinctive blue background with a circle of golden stars.
- Remember that the EU flag has 12 stars in a circle, regardless of how many member states there are.
- The stars should be five-pointed and arranged in a perfect circle.
- Eliminate options that show different numbers of stars, different colors, or different arrangements (like lines or other shapes).
