The 4th of July is the time when we celebrate our nation-- a time to reflect on the freedoms which we believe are not granted by our government, but are self-evident rights for all humankind. Time for the Independence Day Quiz which asks, "How much do you really know?" Every day thousands leave their homelands to settle here in the land of the free. Before they become citizens they are required to take a citizenship test and score 80%. Could you pass this test if you took it today? Our quiz is made up of 20 questions found on the actual citizenship test with a few curveballs in the mix. The last ten questions may be a bit harder, but a score of around 24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade. (For whatever it's worth--and I guess that would be nothing to anyone but me--I got 28 out of 30. But I will admit that I just guessed on a couple of the ones I got right. And I knew the right answer to one of the ones I got wrong, or would have if I had given it a bit more thought. Anyway, it's just for fun and to test your own knowledge of our history. Enjoy).
