EDITORIAL LEARNING AID

Why is this answer correct?

In 13 of the 16 federal states the head of government is called Minister-President. Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen use their own titles (Governing Mayor, First Mayor, President of the Senate); senators there are members of the government, and "First Minister" or "Prime Minister" are not German titles.

Usually "Minister-President" — city-states use other titles.

This translation and explanation are editorial learning aids. The official German wording and answer key govern the examination.
