Complete the sentence about Francisco Balagtas with the correct year: Balagtas published Florante at Laura upon his release in ______.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 1838
Francisco Balagtas wrote Florante at Laura while imprisoned, after the wealthy Mariano Capule had him jailed over his affection for María Asunción Rivera. He published the poem on his release in 1838. The 1843 option is later than his marriage in 1842 and move to Balanga in 1840, so it does not fit the release.
