The question as it appears on the exam
Eine junge Frau will den Führerschein machen. Sie hat Angst vor der Prüfung, weil ihre Muttersprache nicht Deutsch ist. Was ist richtig?

Why this is the answer
This question belongs to “Mensch und Gesellschaft” (people and society) and covers everyday life: employment and dismissal, renting, compulsory schooling, family, religion and tolerance. The logic is nearly always the same: the correct answer respects other people's freedom, stays within the law, and uses the official route — an authority, a court, the works council, a counselling service — rather than pressure, force or taking matters into your own hands.
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.
