Complete the sentence about Philippine national anthem with the correct year: Upon repeal of the Flag Act in ______, the national march regained its popular status as the national anthem of the Philippines.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 1919

The Philippine national anthem began as a march that lost its place in public life when the Flag Act of 1907 banned the flags and emblems of the Philippine Republican Army. When the Flag Act was repealed in 1919, the march regained its popular status as the national anthem. The year 1899 is before the Flag Act was passed, so it cannot be the year of repeal.
