问答题
What's the origin of pumpkin lantern according to the passage?
【正确答案】正确答案:Lanterns made with hollowed-out turnips and candles at Samhain.
【答案解析】解析:根据题干关键词“pumpkin lantern”定位至文章最后一段。该段说很多萨温节的装扮如果没有了一些小饰物的搭配也会显得不完整:比如把空心萝卜里放上蜡烛做成的灯笼。这样的东西后来被爱尔兰移民带到了北美,而且萝卜也被当地盛产的南瓜所取代。由此可知,南瓜灯源自萨温节的萝卜灯,因此答案是Lanterns made with hollowed-out turnips and candles at Samhain。
