EDITORIAL LEARNING AID

Why is this answer correct?

In a traffic-light coalition, the SPD (red), FDP (yellow) and Alliance 90/The Greens (green) govern together; the colours are reminiscent of a traffic light. The CDU and CSU together form the Union, the CDU and SPD govern in a grand coalition, and the combination of CSU, The Left and the Greens does not exist in this form.

Traffic light: red for the SPD, yellow for the FDP, green for the Greens.
