About this Halloween facts task

Four statements about Halloween, one of them wrong – click it. The claims are the sort that circulate as trivia: that Halloween is a national holiday in the United States, that trick-or-treating there goes back to the eighteenth century, that the holiday was banned during the Second World War.
