Why is ANZAC Day so named?

  1. Named after a famous general

  2. Named after a historic battle

  3. Named after the date of Australia's independence

  4. Named after The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

The correct answer is: Named after The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

ANZAC Day is named after The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, which is a reflection of the collective sacrifices made by the soldiers who served in this corps during World War I, particularly during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. The term 'ANZAC' symbolizes the bravery and camaraderie of both Australian and New Zealand forces. This day is observed on April 25 each year, commemorating the courage and contributions of those who served in conflicts and wars, allowing nations to recognize the legacy of these service members. The other options do not accurately define the significance of ANZAC Day, as it is not named after a specific general or a historic battle and does not relate to Australia’s independence date. Instead, it emphasizes the collaborative efforts and sacrifices of the forces designated under the ANZAC moniker.
