Why is reading symbols in nationalist images important for source-based questions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because symbols explain the political message of the image

Reading these signs helps a student infer the message and purpose of the source. Options B, C and D deny or misrepresent the communicative role of symbols.
