If two lamps, L1 and L2, were connected in parallel and a solder bridge shorted L1, then:?

Question: heh, this is for some take home quiz and the question is worded exactly like this not sure if the lamps were turned on in the first place but that is probably assumed answer choices include: a- Both maps would be off b- L1 would be on and L2 would be off c- L1 would be off and L2 would be on d- Both lamps would be on i think the answer would be d because of the solder bridge but not sure... and also, what if L1 was opened instead of shorted? what do you guys think? (thanks for the help guys) er... not maps, lamps

Answer: Both lamps would be off. Since the lamps are in parallel they share the connections, so shorting L1 also shorts L2. Then there is no way for either one to get electricity and that means both are off.
