Answer: C. Poland and Germany are members of the European Union. Belarus is not an EU member, and Switzerland is outside the EU (it is in the Schengen area and EFTA). So 2 and 3.
Watch for: Switzerland is in Schengen and surrounded by EU states, so students assume it is a member.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Belarus and Switzerland are not EU members.
- B. Wrong because neither Belarus nor Switzerland is in the EU.
- D. Wrong because Switzerland is not in the EU and Germany is left out.
