Yea pretty lame question.. given 1 wire, a battery, a bulb that has 2 terminals but both are not totally obvious—and likely designed to run substantially higher voltages thru it, and testing the bulb outside (so if the bulb lights up very slightly you might not see it) with no table or anything to set things down on feels more like a trick question than a legitimate test. A more direct question should have been, here is a lightbulb, does it have a positive and negative terminal? Ok if it does have a positive and negative terminals where are they? Does it likely matter for this type of bulb which terminal is positive or negative? If somebody answers all of that then now try connecting the bulb to a battery, but if they are not familiar with this type of bulb likely they will be a bit confused..
