Translation
Which honorary position must German citizens assume when requested?
- A Club trainer
- B Election assistant ✓ Correct answer
- C Library supervisor
- D Teacher
Explanation
German citizens can be called up as election assistants (Wahlhelfer) to staff polling stations, a civic duty tied to running free and fair elections that must be accepted unless there is a valid reason to decline. Club trainer, library supervisor, and teacher are jobs or hobbies, not compulsory public duties.
Tips
- Wahlhelfer is the only role here directly tied to running an election.
- The other jobs are voluntary or paid work, never a legal obligation.
