Complete the sentence about Kongsberg with the correct year: The rural municipalities of Ytre Sandsvær and Øvre Sandsvær were merged into the municipality of Kongsberg in ______.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 1964
Kongsberg is an old mining town and municipality in Buskerud, Norway, on the Numedalslågen river. It became a municipality on 1 January 1838, and the rural municipalities of Ytre and Ovre Sandsvaer were folded into it in 1964. That merger came after the Kongsberg silver mines closed in 1958, so 1944 and 1954 are too early.
