Life in the UK Test 34
Bonfire Night remembers the day when a group of Catholics led by Guy Fawkes killed the Protestant king with a bomb in the Houses of Parliament.
Correct Answer: False
False. Bonfire Night (5 November) commemorates the discovery and failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. A group of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I — but the plot was discovered before it could be carried out.
Guy Fawkes was found guarding barrels of gunpowder in the cellars beneath Parliament. The conspirators were arrested, tried and executed. Bonfires were lit in celebration of the King's survival, a tradition that continues to this day with firework displays.
