What event does Australia Day commemorate?

The foundation of the first school
The construction of the first hospital
The arrival of the first settlers
The anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet from Great Britain

The correct answer is: The anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet from Great Britain

Australia Day commemorates the anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet from Great Britain. This event is significant because it marked the beginning of European settlement in Australia. The other options are incorrect because they either do not coincide with this significant historical event (e.g. the construction of the first hospital) or only represent a small aspect of it (e.g. the foundation of the first school). Option C may seem like a possible answer because it mentions the arrival of the first settlers, but it is not specific enough as it does not mention the first fleet from Great Britain.
