Translation
Who leads the German Federal Cabinet?
- A the President of the Bundestag
- B the Federal President
- C the President of the Bundesrat
- D the Federal Chancellor ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
The Federal Cabinet is the executive branch of Germany’s federal government and is chaired by the Federal Chancellor, who sets policy guidelines and coordinates ministers. The Federal President is head of state (not government), the Bundestag President presides over the parliament, and the Bundesrat President chairs the Bundesrat.
Tips
- Link “cabinet” with the executive branch and the head of government.
- istinguish roles: head of state vs. head of government vs. parliamentary chairs.
- Use titles as keywords: Chancellor = government leader; President (Federal) = ceremonial/head of state; Bundestag/Bundesrat presidents = lead their respective chambers.
- Eliminate options tied to legislative bodies when the question is about the federal cabinet.
