What country performs the traditional dance " cariñosa"?
Cariñosa is a Philippine dance of colonial-era origin from the Maria Clara suite of Philippine folk dances, where the fan or handkerchief plays an instrumental role as it places the couple in romance scenario. The cariñosa is a much-loved folk dance in the Philippines and the characteristic shy behavior of the female dancer is said to represent the mannerisms of Filipina women.

Why don't these questions have more than one answer that at least sounds like it could be right. Only one answer option corresponded to the Spanish sounding name in the question.

Only logical answer. Does a performance rating of 0.0% mean anything? I'm hoping not.

I agree with Al - silly choices, several Spanish speaking countries would have made it more difficult. Or even Portuguese.

That word obviously has a Spanish derivation, and the correct answer was the only with a Spanish heritage.
