Which one of the following cities has been the venue of the Asian Games for the maximum number of times from the year 1951 to the year 2006?
- ADelhi
- BBangkokCorrect
- CRio de Janeiro
- DBeijing
Explanation
Between 1951 and 2006, Bangkok hosted the Asian Games a record four times. The city held the games in 1966, 1970, 1978, and 1998. In comparison, Delhi hosted the games twice in 1951 and 1982, while Beijing hosted them once in 1990. Rio de Janeiro is located in Brazil and is not an Asian city, so it has never hosted the Asian Games. Therefore, Bangkok is the correct answer.
