According to the Prime Minister, Elavenil Valarivan's silver in the women's 10m air rifle individual event at the Asian Games 2026 was her ______ medal of the day.
- A.first
- B.second
- C.third
- D.fourth
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is second. In his message on X, the Prime Minister congratulated Elavenil Valarivan on the silver in the women's 10m air rifle individual event and noted that it was her second medal of the day, which made it even more special. Her first medal that day was the silver she won in the women's 10m air rifle together with Sonam Uttam Maskar and Vidarsa K Vinod.
Option A is wrong because the team medal came first, so the individual silver could not be her first. Options C and D are wrong because the releases of 20 September mention only two medals for her that day, the team silver and the individual silver. Examiners like to turn a detail such as this into a question, so remember the full picture: two silvers, one team and one individual, both in the women's 10m air rifle.
