Official question from the BAMF catalog used for the Einbürgerungstest (German citizenship test) and the Leben in Deutschland test. Topic: Basic Rights.
The question as it appears on the exam
Eine Frau in Deutschland verliert ihre Arbeit. Was darf nicht der Grund für diese Entlassung sein?
The Einbürgerungstest is written and sat in German only, with no dictionary allowed. Use the English below to understand the question, but learn to recognise the German wording above — that is what you will see on the day.

- BDie Frau kam oft zu spät zur Arbeit.The woman was often late for work.
- CDie Frau erledigt private Sachen während der Arbeitszeit.The woman handles personal matters during working hours.

Correct answer
D — Die Frau bekommt ein Kind und ihr Chef weiß das.
The woman is having a baby and her boss knows it.
Why this is the answer
A woman must not be dismissed because she is having a child and her employer knows it; pregnancy and maternity receive special legal protection. The correct answer is “The woman is having a baby and her boss knows it.”
How this question fits into the exam
On exam day you answer 33 questions in 60 minutes: 30 from the general catalog of 300 questions — this question is one of them — and 3 about your federal state. You pass with 17 correct answers. Aiming for exactly 17 leaves no margin for nerves, so take timed mock exams until 33 out of 33 feels routine.
