80%. AS both hockey and lacrosse are recognised as national sports, then both should be correct. If you wanted lacrosse then the Q should have said "first" national sport.
I also feel the Q re best film is not clear. I looked up 1993 oscars after I answered and not one of these were listed. But in 1994 oscars all of these were. Perhaps it should have read 1994 oscars for 1993 best pic.?
