Complete the sentence about Intramuros with the correct year: In ______, a fleet of Chinese pirates led by Limahong attacked the city and destroyed it before the Spaniards drove them away.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1574
Intramuros was the political, military and religious center of the Spanish Empire in Asia and often faced attacks. In 1574, a fleet of Chinese pirates led by Limahong attacked and destroyed the city before the Spaniards drove them away. As Manila became the Spanish capital only in 1571, the options 1544 and 1559 are too early.
