Which place completes this sentence about Lapulapu? Magellan's death ended his voyage of circumnavigation and delayed Spanish expansion into the archipelago until the expedition of Miguel López de ______ in 1565.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Legazpi
Lapulapu was the Datu of Mactan who fought the battle in which Ferdinand Magellan was killed. With Magellan's death the circumnavigation voyage ended, and Spanish expansion into the islands waited until the 1565 expedition of Miguel López de Legazpi. Pasig, Manila and Makati are places around Metro Manila, not the name of that expedition leader.
