What is the main task of the German Federal President? He/She ...
- A governs the country.
- B drafts the laws.
- C represents the country. ✓ Correct answer

Explanation
The Federal President's main role is to represent Germany at home and abroad, signing laws and making formal appointments in a largely ceremonial capacity. Governing, drafting laws, and enforcing them belong to the Chancellor, parliament, and the courts.
Tips
- Representing the country is the President's core task, not day to day governing.
- Drafting and enforcing laws sit with the government, parliament, and courts instead.
