Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the level of government required by the question
The focus is on the Australian (Federal) Government.
The stem specifically asks for responsibilities managed exclusively by the Federal level.
2
Evaluate the first set of responsibilities: Foreign affairs, marriage/divorce, and social security
All three are national-level concerns.
Foreign affairs involves international relations, marriage laws must be uniform across the country, and social security (like pensions) is a national welfare system.
3
Evaluate the second set: Defense, trade, and ambulance/fire services
One responsibility is incorrect for this level.
Ambulance and fire services are regional emergency services managed by State and Territory governments.
4
Evaluate the third set: Immigration, currency, and vehicle registration
One responsibility is incorrect for this level.
The registration of motor vehicles and drivers is a state-level administrative task, not a federal one.
