An electrician is creating a wiring plan for a small house. He needs to create a plan that will allow the homeowners to turn off lights in one room without turning off the lights in another. What should he do to assure that each room's lights function independently of one another?

A) He should wire each room in series with the next.
B) He should wire each room in parallel with the next.
C) He should make sure each room's lights provide the same resistance.
D) He should wire the room with the most lights directly to the circuit breaker box.

So the answer is B) he should wire each room in parallel. This is because when the bulbs are in parallel if one part of the parallel circuit is broken (eg when you switch a light off) then the current can still flow to all the other bulbs, meaning they stay turned on. Hope this helps :)
