Why was a female allegory more effective than showing the nation only through a map?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because a female allegory also expresses emotion, ideals and identity
The governing concept is the emotional and symbolic construction of national identity. A map can show territory, location and boundaries, but it does not by itself communicate the nation’s ideals or emotional character. A female allegory gives the nation a human, memorable form and can express liberty, courage, unity or other values. Thus B is correct; A, C and D make false or irrelevant claims.
