How was the meaning of the olive branch in Germania’s image different from the sword?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The olive branch suggested peace while the sword suggested defence
The objects held or shown with Germania conveyed different political meanings. The olive branch traditionally represented peace, reconciliation and the hope of harmony, whereas the sword represented the ability to defend the nation and resist threats. Thus option A correctly contrasts the two symbols. Options B, C and D ignore their established symbolic meanings and wrongly give both objects the same unrelated meaning.
