When was oil first discovered in Alberta?

  1. 1947

  2. 1953

  3. 1962

  4. 1970

The correct answer is: 1947

Oil was first discovered in Alberta in 1947, making option A the correct answer. The other options, 1953, 1962, and 1970, are incorrect as they follow after the year that oil was actually discovered. Option A is also more plausible compared to the other options, as the discovery of oil in Alberta was a major event and not likely to be missed by a few years. Therefore, it is safe to say that the other options are incorrect and option A is the most accurate answer.
