Complete the sentence about Parol with the correct year: In ______, parols with rotor systems were invented by the lantern-maker Rodolfo David.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1957
The parol is the star-shaped Filipino Christmas lantern. In 1957 the lantern-maker Rodolfo David invented parols with rotor systems, using rotating steel drums with wires on hairpins to program the light and music. Battery-operated parols had come earlier, in the 1940s, so 1967 is later than the invention.
