[mcq] Which of the following statements is NOT true about Belgium's power-sharing arrangement?
(A) The number of Dutch and French-speaking ministers shall be equal in the central government.
(B) The State Governments are subordinate to the Central Government on all matters.
(C) The community government is elected by people belonging to one language community.
(D) Brussels has a separate government in which both communities have equal representation.

Accepted Answer

## Model Answer **(B)** The State Governments are not subordinate to the Central Government. The passage clearly states that State Governments in Belgium are **not** subordinate to the Central Government — so option (B) among the given answer choices (which says "French-speaking community was given a dominant role in Brussels government") is NOT true. Source: Accommodation in Belgium, Chapter 1 --- ## Explanation The question asks which statement is **NOT true** about Belgium. The passage states that in Brussels, **both communities have equal representation** — the French-speaking community was NOT given a dominant role. The other options (equal ministers in central govt, community government by language group, State Governments not subordinate to Centre) are all confirmed true by the passage. Examiners expect you to match each option against the text carefully.
