Why might the symbol of peace be placed with the sword in Germania's image?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To show both national capacity for defence and desire for peace
The governing idea is that political images can combine apparently different national values. In Germania, the sword suggests readiness to defend the community and the olive branch or other peace symbol expresses a desire for peace. Together they present a nation that is strong enough to protect itself but does not celebrate conflict alone. Option A is correct; taxation, farming and royal property do not explain this symbolic pairing.
