Which major sporting event did Arnold Rothstein allegedly fix in 1919?

• A. The Olympics
• B. The Stanley Cup Final
• C. The Grand Prix
• D. The World Series

Answer: (D)

This question tests knowledge of a famous early 20th‑century gambling scandal and who was involved. Arnold Rothstein was a powerful gambler who is alleged to have helped organize the bribery that caused players to throw the World Series in 1919. The Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing the series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers, making the World Series the event tied to his name in this context. The other options don’t fit this well-known scandal: the Olympics around that era weren’t fixed by him in 1919, the Stanley Cup Final has no clear link to Rothstein in that year, and the Grand Prix is an auto-racing event unrelated to this story. So the World Series is the correct association.
