Which term denotes 'Location of a significant battle in Filipino history' ?

• A. Tirad Pass
• B. Mactan
• C. Bataan
• D. National Destiny

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing a place name that is famous specifically as the site where a significant Filipino battle occurred. Tirad Pass is a mountain pass in Ilocos Sur that became known because of the Battle of Tirad Pass during the Philippine–American War, where a small Filipino force under General Gregorio del Pilar held off a much larger American column to delay them and allow other troops to maneuver. Because the clue points to a term that denotes the location of a notable battle, the geographic name Tirad Pass correctly identifies the place where that important battle happened. National Destiny isn’t a location, and while Mactan and Bataan are famous battle sites, the prompt is asking for the name that denotes the location of that notable battle, which Tirad Pass does.
