Explanation:

Question 1 (Clothing pattern in Philippines for wealth and luck)

In Philippine culture, polka dots on clothing are associated with bringing wealth and luck, especially during New Year celebrations as the dots resemble coins, symbolizing prosperity. Stripes, plaid, and flowers don't have this specific cultural association for wealth/luck.

A traditional practice in the Philippines on New Year's Eve is banging pots and pans (or making noise) to drive away bad spirits and welcome good fortune. It's not for making music, starting a parade, or waking neighbors.

Answer:

D. Polka dots
