Which English phrase best matches 'studieren (meist konkret)'?

• A. to study what / how / where
• B. to study (in general as an activity)
• C. to be a student; to go to university; to take / attend courses
• D. to take up studies

Answer: (A)

This item checks how you express studying a field or subject in a concrete way. The best match is “to study what / how / where” because it captures specifying the subject you’re studying (what), the method or approach (how), or the place of study (where). For example, “I study physics” uses what you study; “I want to study how to design software” uses how you study; and “I want to study in Germany” uses where you study.

The other options shift away from the concrete focus. Saying you study in general as an activity is too broad, being a student or attending university describes your status rather than the act of studying a specific subject, and “to take up studies” isn’t a natural way to express the idea in English.
