Which map title translates to the Islas Filipinas, as cited in the material?

• A. Philippine Insulae
• B. Ma-yi
• C. Carta y hydugraphica y Chorographica de Las Islas Filipinas
• D. Rutter

Answer: (C)

Understanding map titles helps you spot the intended region and language of the source. Islas Filipinas is the Spanish phrase for The Philippine Islands, so a map title that includes Las Islas Filipinas directly names the same area in Spanish. The title Carta y hydugraphica y Chorographica de Las Islas Filipinas reads as a chart and hydrographic/chorographic work of The Philippine Islands, clearly pointing to that archipelago. The other options render the region in different languages or contexts (Latin for Philippine Islands, a historic local name, or a navigational author), but they do not present the exact Spanish phrasing that translates to the Islas Filipinas.
