Model Answer
The correct option is B: a-IV, b-III, c-I, d-II
(Broken Chains – Being free; Breastplate with eagle – Strength; Crown of oak leaves – Heroism; Sword – Readiness to fight)
Explanation
The answer is directly from Box 3 in Chapter 1. Students must memorise the exact attribute-significance pairs for Germania. "Being freed" and "Being free" are treated as equivalent here. Note the breastplate with eagle = strength (German empire), not heroism — a common mix-up.
