Translation
Where does the German Chancellor most frequently stay? Most often, he/she is ...
- A in Bonn, because the Federal Chancellery and the Bundestag are located there.
- B at Schloss Meseberg, the guest house of the federal government, to receive state guests.
- C at Schloss Bellevue, the official residence of the Federal President, to receive state guests.
- D in Berlin, because the Federal Chancellery and the Bundestag are located there. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
The Federal Chancellor primarily works in Berlin, where both the Federal Chancellery and the Bundestag are located. Since the government moved from Bonn to Berlin, Berlin is the central seat of government. Residences like Schloss Bellevue belong to the Federal President, and Schloss Meseberg is only a guest house for special occasions.
Tips
- Look for the official seat of government: Where the Chancellery and Bundestag are located is the key.
- Use roles to eliminate distractors: Schloss Bellevue is for the Federal President, not the Chancellor; Schloss Meseberg is a guest house, not the main workplace.
- Remember the historical move from Bonn to Berlin: Bonn is no longer the primary seat of the federal government.
- Prioritize options mentioning Berlin when the question concerns day-to-day work of the Chancellor.
