Translation
What applies to most children in Germany?
- A Obligation to vote
- B Compulsory education ✓ Correct answer
- C Confidentiality obligation
- D Religious obligation
Explanation
In Germany, most children are legally required to attend school. Voting is not mandatory (and applies only to adults), confidentiality duties apply to certain professions, and there is no obligation to practice a religion due to freedom of belief.
Tips
- Look for legal duties that apply specifically to minors.
- Eliminate options tied to adults (e.g., voting) or to specific professions (e.g., confidentiality).
- Remember constitutional principles: freedom of religion rules out any religious obligation.
- For general knowledge questions, think of universal systems affecting all residents (e.g., compulsory education) rather than optional or profession-limited duties.
