1. Yes. 100% correct.

Those were total no-brainers, but do they even teach civics in 7th grade any more? Or at all?

21. I Subbed Social Studies Tuesday Before Last

8th grade, but it was the pre-quiz for the civics test the last couple days of school
I only sub in 4 districts, and this is only non- high school social studies class I did, but they at least teach civics there.

2. I can see a few questions that might be difficult for a new immigrant, but a native born American?

I'd hope not, but sadly, I know better.

8. These questions are way too easy.

Civics was mandatory in the early '60's when I was in 7th grade. The stuff we had to know was incredibly detailed. I recall thinking it was a really dry subject, but so much of it stuck with me throughout my life because it all had to be memorized. I can still picture the little red book we had.

Besides, they tell you the distinction between civics and history and some of the questions aren't really anything to do with civics.

My civics teacher would be rolling over in his grave if he saw these questions. He was one tough cookie who expected us to know the things he taught us. I think being born right after WWII, teachers were very aware of how important subjects like civics, government and history were.

9. One wrong, but it was because a cat jumped on my keyboard

So, Bootsie does not know the right answer...

10. Too easy... but I know that my trumpians siblings wouldn't pass.

11. #49 was a trick question

Republican senators serve the people who voted for them

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

12. They don't teach civics in my middle school (7th and 8th grade)

They spend most of their time teaching for the evaluation tests.

13. 92%

I just didn't agree with some of them. Yep, my innate contrariness gets me in trouble every time.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. I forgot that we don't have to hit ourselves over the head with a fish every day.

Other than that, I got them all right. And I STILL favor an amendment mandating a daily fish-slapping for all citizens.

[Iggo]

19. With a hyne-didda-thwing and a hyne-didda-thwing and a hyne-didda-thwing...

...and you pop it in your mouth.
