    (d) East Asia Summit, 2019 - Bangkok. Correct: Thailand hosted EAS 2019 in Bangkok.

Summary. Official key is (a) East Asia Summit, 2020 - Singapore. Three pairings are right; 2020 EAS was Vietnam’s virtual chairmanship, not Singapore. Osaka G20 2019, Biarritz G7 2019 and Bangkok EAS 2019 stand. Singapore had hosted EAS in earlier years, which is the trap.
