Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15.

• A. September 1 to September 30
• B. September 15 to October 15
• C. October 1 to October 31
• D. November 1 to November 30

Answer: (B)

The time window being tested is the period when Hispanic Heritage Month is observed in the United States. This celebration was set to run from September 15 to October 15 because it encompasses a wave of important independence anniversaries in Latin America, starting with the September 15 observances of several Central American countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) and including Mexico’s nearby independence day on September 16. The span ends around October 15 to capture related October observances and to keep the celebration as a continuous, month-long recognition of Hispanic and Latino heritage. The other date ranges don’t line up with these established dates, so they wouldn’t reflect the intended observance.
