Translation
What is NOT a federal state of the Federal Republic of Germany?
- A Alsace-Lorraine ✓ Correct answer
- B North Rhine-Westphalia
- C Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
- D Saxony-Anhalt
Explanation
Alsace-Lorraine, Elsass-Lothringen, is a historical region in France, not one of Germany's 16 federal states. North Rhine-Westphalia, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Saxony-Anhalt are all real German Länder.
Tips
- Alsace-Lorraine belongs to France, not Germany, despite the German sounding name.
- Learn the 16 Länder names so a foreign region stands out as the odd one.
