Which is a district in Schleswig-Holstein?
- A Ammerland
- B Mecklenburg Lake District
- C North Friesland ✓ Correct answer
- D Rhein-Sieg District
Explanation
Nordfriesland is one of the rural districts (Landkreise) in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. The other options are districts from different German states: Ammerland (Lower Saxony), Mecklenburgische Seenplatte (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), and Rhein-Sieg-Kreis (North Rhine-Westphalia).
Tips
- Identify the federal state first and recall its geography (e.g., coastal, islands).
- Eliminate districts whose names clearly belong to other regions (e.g., Mecklenburg, Rhein).
- Familiarize yourself with a few hallmark districts per state for anchor recognition.
- Watch for coastal or North Sea references in northern states.
