Question 47 of 300 · The State and Federalism
Question 47: The German state has many tasks. Which task is NOT among them?
Official question from the BAMF catalog used for the Einbürgerungstest (German citizenship test) and the Leben in Deutschland test. Topic: The State and Federalism.
The question as it appears on the exam
Der deutsche Staat hat viele Aufgaben. Welche Aufgabe gehört nicht dazu?
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.
Answer options
- AEr bezahlt für alle Staatsangehörigen Urlaubsreisen.It pays for holidays for all citizens.Correct
- BEr zahlt Kindergeld.It pays child benefits.
- CEr unterstützt Museen.It supports museums.
- DEr fördert Sportlerinnen und Sportler.It supports athletes.
Correct answer
A — Er bezahlt für alle Staatsangehörigen Urlaubsreisen.
It pays for holidays for all citizens.
Why this is the answer
The state does not pay for holidays for all citizens; private travel generally has to be self-funded. Child benefit and support for museums and athletes, however, are state activities.
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.
