When was Ranasingha Premadasa, President of Sri Lanka, assassinated?

1963
1973
1983
1993

The correct answer is D. 1993.

Ranasinghe Premadasa was the President of Sri Lanka from 1989 to 1993. He was assassinated on May 1, 1993, by a suicide bomber while addressing a public rally in Colombo.

Option A, 1963, is incorrect because Ranasinghe Premadasa was not yet a politician in 1963. He was born in 1924 and entered politics in the early 1950s.

Option B, 1973, is incorrect because Ranasinghe Premadasa was not yet a member of the Sri Lankan government in 1973. He was elected to the Parliament of Sri Lanka in 1970, but he did not hold a ministerial position until 1977.

Option C, 1983, is incorrect because Ranasinghe Premadasa was not yet the President of Sri Lanka in 1983. He was elected President in 1988.
