The Commonwealth Coat of Arms is the official symbol of the Commonwealth of Australia, representing national unity and identifying the authority of the government. In addition to the native animals supporting the shield, which of the following correctly describes how Australia’s states and territories are represented on this symbol?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The shield in the center represents the six states and federation, while the seven-pointed star above the shield represents the states and territories.

Cevap

The correct answer states that the shield in the center represents the six states and federation, while the seven-pointed star above the shield represents the states and territories.
The correct answer is accurate because the Commonwealth Coat of Arms represents the six states through the badges on the central shield and the federation as a whole. The gold Commonwealth Star above the shield specifically uses its seven points to include the six states and the territories collectively.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the composition of the central shield on the Coat of Arms.
The shield is divided into six parts, each displaying the badge of one of the six Australian states (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS).
The shield represents the six states and their federation into one Commonwealth.
2
Identify the symbolism of the star positioned above the shield.
The gold-colored star has seven points; six points represent the states and the seventh point represents the territories.
This 'Commonwealth Star' (or Federation Star) symbolizes the unity of all jurisdictions under the Commonwealth.
3
Evaluate the options based on the combined jurisdictional representation.
Only the description of the shield representing the six states and the seven-pointed star representing both states and territories is accurate.
This distinguishes between the badge symbols on the shield and the symbolic points on the Commonwealth Star.
