Which option correctly matches a visual symbol with its meaning?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Broken chains and freedom
The governing concept is the language of political symbols. Chains represent bondage, so broken chains naturally signify the end of bondage and freedom or liberty. Therefore option A is the correct match. Oak leaves traditionally suggest strength or heroism rather than hunger; scales usually suggest justice or equality rather than trade loss; and a red cap was associated with liberty, not slavery. Hence the alternatives are mismatched.
