Der Blaue Reiter is German for what?

• A. The Blue Rider
• B. The Blue Bird
• C. The Blue Rider and the Grey
• D. The Blue Cross

Answer: (A)

It's asking for the translation of a German name that is also the title of an art movement. Der Blaue Reiter translates directly to The Blue Rider. In German, Der is the definite article "the," Blaue is the adjective "blue," and Reiter means "rider" or "horseman." As a proper noun, this exact phrase is used in English to refer to the early 20th-century German Expressionist group formed by artists like Kandinsky and Franz Marc. That makes this option the correct one because it matches the actual name and its meaning.

The other options would refer to different words entirely—bird would be Vogel, cross would be Kreuz—and they do not correspond to the name of the movement.
