Translation
In Germany, the last four weeks before Christmas are called ...
- A the Day of Repentance and Prayer.
- B the Harvest Festival.
- C the Advent season. ✓ Correct answer
- D All Saints' Day.
Explanation
The four weeks before Christmas, with four Sundays, are called Advent in the Christian calendar, often marked with wreaths and calendars. The Day of Repentance and Prayer, the Harvest Festival, and All Saints' Day are each single fixed dates, not this multi week period.
Tips
- Advent covers four Sundays before Christmas, look for wreaths and calendars as clues.
- The other three answers are one day holidays, not a season.
