Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

ANZAC Day commemorates the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli, Turkey, on 25 April 1915.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.  
- The Gallipoli campaign (World War I) began with the ANZAC landings on 25 April 1915.  
- ANZAC Day (25 April each year) is observed to remember the service and sacrifice of Australians and New Zealanders in that campaign and, more broadly, those who have served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

2) Step‑by‑step reasoning
- Read each option and match it to the historical meaning of ANZAC Day.  
- Option c explicitly names the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli, which directly corresponds to the origin of ANZAC Day and its date (25 April 1915).  
- Therefore option c matches the established historical fact behind the holiday.

3) Calculations/intermediate steps
- No numerical calculations are required. The intermediate logical steps are: identify ANZAC acronym → recall Gallipoli landing date/event → compare options to that event → select matching option.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- ANZAC Day was instituted to honor the soldiers who landed at Gallipoli and those who served subsequently. The term “ANZAC” itself refers to the combined Australian and New Zealand force at that landing, so option c is a direct description of what is remembered.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- Option a: “The arrival of the first free settlers from Great Britain” refers to colonial migration and is not connected to ANZAC or World War I.  
- Option b: “The landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove” relates to the First Fleet in 1788 (connected to Australia Day/colonial founding), not ANZAC Day.

Conclusion: The correct answer is c. The landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli, Turkey. This matches the provided answer.
