Complete the sentence about Basketball in the Philippines with the correct year: The Philippines made their debut in the Olympic Games in ______ where they finished fifth, the best result of an Asian team in Olympic basketball history.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1936
Basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines. The country made its Olympic debut in 1936 and finished fifth, the best showing by an Asian team in Olympic basketball, and that same year it joined FIBA. No Olympic Games were played in 1939 or 1944, so those two options cannot be right.
