1. To determine the effects of the establishment of the European Union, we need to analyze each option:
- Free language instruction among members: This option is not an effect of the establishment of the European Union. It is not a direct policy or outcome of the EU.
- Import taxes between countries: This effect is true. The establishment of the European Union has led to the elimination or reduction of import taxes (also known as tariffs) between member countries, promoting free trade within the EU.
- Elections among all members for all EU government positions: This effect is true. The European Union has established elections where all member countries participate to select EU government officials, such as Members of the European Parliament and the President of the European Commission.
- Free trade among members: This effect is true. The European Union has created a single market, allowing for the free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor among member countries, promoting economic integration and trade.
- Citizens moving through borders freely: This effect is true. The establishment of the European Union has facilitated the free movement of EU citizens between member countries, allowing them to live, work, study, and retire in any EU member state.
Therefore, the correct answers are: Import taxes between countries, elections among all members for all EU government positions, free trade among members, and citizens moving through borders freely.
2. To determine the aspects of the German and British economies, we need to analyze each option:
British Economy:
- Strong market orientation: This aspect is true. The British economy is known for its strong market orientation, with a significant emphasis on free-market principles and private sector participation.
- Mixed economy: This aspect is true. The British economy combines elements of both capitalism and socialism, with a mix of private and public ownership in various sectors.
German Economy:
- Mixed economy: This aspect is true. The German economy, like the British economy, also features a mixed economy, with elements of both capitalism and socialism.
- Focused on engineering and technical aspects: This aspect is true. Germany is known for prioritizing engineering and technical expertise, and it is renowned for its advanced manufacturing, automotive, and high-tech industries.
- Relied on natural resources in the 1800s: This aspect is not specific to the German economy. While Germany did rely on natural resources historically, this statement does not uniquely describe the German economy today.
Therefore, the correct aspects are: Strong market orientation for the British economy, mixed economy for both the British and German economies, and focused on engineering and technical aspects for the German economy.
3. The main reason other members of the EU are concerned about the British decision to leave the EU is:
A. They are concerned that other nations will want to leave the EU after Britain.

4. Current demographic trends pose problems in Europe primarily because:
B. A large aging population stresses the ability of a small workforce to care for it.

6. The European Union response to the Syrian refugee crisis of 2015 was:

7. The reasons for significant migration after World War II in Europe are:
A. New laws after the Allies won the war restricted Germans.
B. Widespread damage after the war made people look for new housing.
After World War II, Europe experienced significant migration due to various factors. New laws and policies implemented by the Allied powers restricted Germans from certain areas and led to population movements. Additionally, widespread damage and destruction during the war created a need for people to find new housing and opportunities.
