Look at the animal and background together.
The white horse is shown leaping. The shield has no additional fields or animals. This simple combination of one horse and a red background distinguishes the required emblem from the other three images.
The motif is also called the Sachsenross, or Saxon steed. That name refers to a historical tradition, rather than making Saxony the answer. In today’s question bank, this horse emblem belongs to Niedersachsen. Remember the visual feature before reading its number.
The other three answers
Check which feature is missing from each other image.
1
Image 1 shows blue-and-white diamonds beneath a crown. It contains no white horse on red.
2
Image 2 is divided: two blue lions on yellow at the left and a pale jagged figure on red at the right. It is not the simple horse shield.
4
Image 4 has horizontal black-and-yellow stripes with a diagonal green band. The horse is absent.
The coat-of-arms colours and flag colours are different answers.
White and red are the main colours of the coat of arms. The state flag instead has black, red and gold stripes and also bears the emblem. Do not derive the answer to the flag question from the two coat-of-arms colours.
Number 3 belongs to this particular arrangement. A different layout could place the same emblem elsewhere. The editorial AI pictures show study materials only; the actual question image remains unchanged in the quiz.
