Why would it be incomplete to treat Germania's sword only as a symbol of violence?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it also showed defence of the nation and readiness for struggle
The governing concept is the contextual interpretation of nationalist allegory. Germania’s sword does suggest force and struggle, but in the nationalist image it also represents the willingness to defend the nation and fight for its unity or freedom. Therefore its meaning is broader than violence alone. A sword is not an agricultural tool, politics can use military symbols, and Germania was not a trade goddess. Option A is correct.
