Why is this answer correct?
For the “Leben in Deutschland” test, connect “from a dictatorship to a democracy.” with the meaning of the question. This is the answer marked as correct in the official key. “from a liberal market economy to socialism.” is not part of the solution and points to a different issue. Learn the key term together with the complete correct answer instead of memorising only its letter.
