Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT: For an international-summit host question, match the summit year and edition with official venue and chairship records. BRICS summits rotate among member countries, so the host city and the year identify the host country.
APPLICATION: The 2019 event was the 11th BRICS Summit. Official BRICS records list that summit as held in Brasília, Brazil, and China’s foreign ministry account also describes the 11th BRICS Summit as being held in Brasília, the capital of Brazil, with Brazil’s president presiding.
India is associated with the 2016 BRICS Summit in Goa, not the 2019 host year.
China is associated with the 2017 BRICS Summit in Xiamen, not the 2019 host year.
Russia is associated with the following BRICS chairship cycle after 2019, not the summit year asked here.
RESULT: The country that hosted the 2019 BRICS Summit was Brazil.
