Question

Which of the following was the primary objective of Belgium to form the separate government in Brussels?

• A. Promoting cultural events.
• B. Managing international relations.
• C. Enforcing local laws.
• D. Ensuring linguistic accommodation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The primary objective of forming a separate government in Brussels was to ensure linguistic accommodation. Belgium is a country with multiple linguistic communities (primarily French and Dutch), and Brussels being a bilingual city required policies that balanced the needs of both communities. This step aimed to prevent conflicts and promote harmony among the linguistic groups.
Other options do not align with the primary objective:
- Promoting cultural events: Not directly related to the government’s formation in Brussels.
- Managing international relations: Falls under the purview of the central government, not specific to Brussels.
- Enforcing local laws: A general administrative function, not specific to the linguistic issue.
