Recognise the building and identify its current function.
The exam image shows a broad historic façade, a projecting columned entrance and a dome above it. These features belong to Berlin’s Reichstag building. Its use by the Bundestag determines the answer.
Reichstag building is the name of the structure. Today’s elected federal parliament is called the German Bundestag. Both terms can therefore refer to the same address without meaning two present-day parliaments.
The other three answers
The other choices name different state institutions.
the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe
The Federal Constitutional Court is based in Karlsruhe. It is a court, not the parliamentary building shown.
the Bundesrat building in Berlin
The Bundesrat represents the state governments and is a different constitutional body. Its building is not the Reichstag façade shown here.
the Federal Chancellery in Berlin
The Federal Chancellery serves governmental work. Parliament and government have different functions; the building shown is the Bundestag’s seat.
The original image is the basis of this visual question.
Use the unchanged image next to the question. The two larger editorial illustrations on this page are fictional and do not replace a recognition photograph of the building.
The Bundestag also uses other buildings for its work. The exam answer identifies the well-known parliamentary seat, not every office and facility.
