Ancy Sojan won a Silver Medal for India at the Asian Games in which event?
- A.Women's 200m
- B.Women's Triple Jump
- C.Women's Long Jump
- D.Women's High Jump
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women's Long Jump, where Ancy Sojan finished with silver in a performance the Prime Minister described as strong and spirited. Option A, the women's 200m, is the event in which Harita Bhadra won bronze, and mixing the two athletes up is the most likely error here. Options B and D name other jumping events that were not part of this medal. Note the pattern of the day for India in these disciplines: silver in the long jump, bronze in the 200m, and silver in both the men's and women's singles squash. Since three medals were silver and one bronze, examiners often test the colour of a specific athlete's medal rather than the overall count, so link each name to its own event and colour.
