Complete the sentence about Commonwealth of the Philippines with the correct year: Women's suffrage was adopted, and the economy recovered to pre-Depression levels before the Japanese invasion of the islands in ______.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 1941

The Commonwealth of the Philippines was a transitional U.S. territory that existed from 1935 to 1946. During that time Tagalog was chosen as the basis of a national language, women's suffrage was adopted, and the economy recovered to pre-Depression levels before the Japanese invasion in 1941. Japan occupied the islands from 1942 to 1945, so 1944 falls inside the occupation, and 1946 and 1966 are later still.
