Translation
The parliamentary opposition in the German Bundestag ...
- A monitors the government. ✓ Correct answer
- B decides who becomes Federal Minister.
- C determines who sits in the Bundesrat.
- D proposes the heads of government of the federal states.
Explanation
The Bundestag's opposition scrutinizes and holds the federal government accountable through debate, questions, and committee work. Deciding ministers, choosing Bundesrat members, and proposing state leaders belong to other actors entirely.
Tips
- Monitoring and holding the government to account is the opposition's core job.
- Ministers, Bundesrat seats, and state leaders are decided elsewhere, not by the opposition.
