Which of the following destinations was NOT explicitly listed as being served by PAWA Dominicana from its Santo Domingo hub?
Answer: Miami, United States
Explanation: While Miami and San Juan were served from Santo Domingo, the specific list provided does not include Miami as a destination from that hub; however, other sources indicate Miami was served. Re-checking source: fc_1759076282_074f4a8c40b5 lists Miami. The question is flawed as Miami *was* served. Let's assume the question implies 'which was NOT served *from the Santo Domingo hub* according to a specific list'. The list fc_1759076282_074f4a8c40b5 *does* list Miami. The question is likely intended to test knowledge of *all* destinations. Let's re-evaluate based on the provided answer 'Miami, United States'. This implies Miami was NOT served. However, flashcard fc_1759076282_074f4a8c40b5 explicitly lists Miami. This is a contradiction. I will proceed with the assumption that the provided answer 'Miami, United States' is correct and the flashcard might be misleading or the question is poorly phrased. Let's assume the question meant 'which was NOT served *exclusively* from the Santo Domingo hub' or similar. Given the conflict, I will trust the provided answer and assume Miami was not served *from the Santo Domingo hub* according to the source used for the question. However, this contradicts fc_1759076282_074f4a8c40b5. Let's check fc_1759076282_831e0f04afa8 which says 'From its Santo Domingo hub, PAWA Dominicana served Antigua, Aruba, Curaçao, Havana, San Juan, and St. Maarten, utilizing MD-80 and DC-9 aircraft.' This list *does not* include Miami. Therefore, the question is correct and the answer is Miami. The flashcard fc_1759076282_074f4a8c40b5 might be listing destinations served *overall*, not just from the hub. The question specifically asks about the Santo Domingo hub. Thus, Miami is the correct answer for NOT being served from the hub based on fc_1759076282_831e0f04afa8.
