Translation
In which locations does the European Parliament work?
- A Paris, London, and The Hague
- B Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Brussels ✓ Correct answer
- C Rome, Bern, and Vienna
- D Bonn, Zurich, and Milan
Explanation
The European Parliament operates in three main locations: plenary sessions in Strasbourg, committee work and additional sessions in Brussels, and the administrative Secretariat in Luxembourg. The other city groups list places that are not official seats of the Parliament, include non‑EU cities, or are known for other international institutions.
Tips
- – Memorize the three official seats of the European Parliament: Strasbourg, russels, Luxembourg. – Eliminate options containing non‑EU cities (e.g., Swiss cities) or cities known for other institutions (e.g., The Hague for international courts). – Watch for distractors featuring famous European capitals without EU legislative functions. – Use current EU context: cities from countries outside the EU are unlikely to be correct.
