Ancy Sojan won a Silver Medal for India at the Asian Games in which event?

The correct answer is Anahat Singh, who finished second in the women's singles squash draw and was praised for holding her own against some of the strongest players in the competition. Option B, Harita Bhadra, is an athlete, not a squash player: she won bronze in the women's 200m sprint on her debut at the Games. Option C, Ancy Sojan, won her silver in the women's long jump, a field event in athletics. Option D names another Indian squash player who was not among the medallists congratulated on this occasion. A companion fact to store with this one is that the men's singles squash silver went to Abhay Singh, so India took the runner-up place in both singles categories of the sport on the same day.

The correct answer is bronze, on her debut at the Games. Harita Bhadra reached the podium in the women's 200m at her very first Asian Games, racing with confidence and determination according to the Prime Minister's message. Option A raises the medal to gold, which is not what she won. Option C changes both the colour and her experience at the Games, and silver in the sprint was not part of the day's results for India. Option D keeps the right colour but wrongly places her at a third Games. The debut detail is exactly the kind of tag that turns into a question, so pair it with the event and colour: women's 200m, bronze, first Asian Games. The other athletics medal of the day was Ancy Sojan's long jump silver.

The correct answer is Men's Singles Squash. Abhay Singh finished second in the men's singles draw, and the Prime Minister noted that the medal reflected years of hard work along with his skill and determination. Option B moves him into the doubles draw, which was not the event of this medal. Options C and D shift the medal to badminton and table tennis, two other racquet sports in which India competes at multi-sport Games but which had no part in this result. Keep the squash pair together in memory, since both medallists share a surname and both won silver: Abhay Singh in the men's singles and Anahat Singh in the women's singles. The other two medals of the day came in athletics, from Ancy Sojan and Harita Bhadra.

The correct answer is the women's 400m. Prachi Choudhary finished third in that race, and her run was praised for earning India a place on the podium. Options A and C, the 200m and the 800m, are other track distances and are wrong because her medal came over one lap. Option D is the trickiest distractor, since the 400m hurdles is a separate event with its own final; the medal in question came in the flat 400m. Along with Tajinderpal Singh's silver in the men's shot put, this was India's second athletics medal of the day, while shooting, table tennis and squash brought one medal each. Remembering the exact distance is essential, because a paper can offer several sprint options.

The correct answer is Joshna Chinappa and Velavan Senthilkumar. The pair won bronze in the squash mixed team event, and for Joshna the medal extended a remarkable run of consistency, since she has played at consecutive Asian Games and taken a medal at every edition since 2010. Option A is wrong because Manush Shah and Diya Chitale won their bronze in mixed doubles table tennis, a different sport on the same day. Option C names two of the three shooters who won silver in the women's 50m Rifle 3 Positions team event, so it is wrong here. Option D pairs a sprinter with a thrower, neither of whom took part in squash. Keep each sport with its own athletes when revising a medal day.
