ILL FAN AND GIVE A MEDAL Alisha uses wire to connect a battery, a lightbulb, and a switch, but the bulb does not light up even though the switch is in the closed position. Which might explain the problem? A. either the wires are connected to the wrong battery terminals or the switch is defective B. either the battery has too much power or the filament of the light is not getting enough power C. either the wire is bent or the light is in the wrong position in the circuit D. either the battery has too little power or the filament of the light has burned out D???

A light is purely resistive. It doesn't matter which terminal of the battery we connect. Power depends on the load. A light bulb will pull as much power as it needs assuming that the batter can delivery the power. The bulb and switch must be wired in series. It doesn't matter the order of the devices are in. Dead batteries or burned out bulb sounds like a likely scenario.
