Why should we not assume from the popularity of nationalist symbols that everyone understood nationalism in the same way?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because different classes and groups could connect symbols with different experiences
The governing concept is that nationalism is interpreted through social experience. A widely circulated symbol may create a shared public language, but peasants, workers, elites, women and people from different regions may attach different hopes or grievances to it. Option A is correct. The other choices wrongly deny public reach, confuse symbols with books, or deny the emotional dimension of nationalism.
