Could You Pass the Naturalization Test?

The Christian Science Monitor has the Naturalization test online.
96 questions, and you must answer 58 correctly to pass. 92% of them thar ferriners do, can you?
I got 90, one I misread the question, one I knew but had a clicking finger fart, and one I'll argue to my dieing day I'm right and they're wrong.

I'm right with you Bruce, everyone knows the Celts were a native American tribe.

87/96 I got hammered on the questions about the structure of the gov't- always been weak on that.
The question about the colonists fighting the British was a shitty question. I highly doubt that the british garrisoning troops in people's houses was the reason we went to war. I really think it was much more about lack of self governance. But then, that was a long time ago and my memory may be a bit fuzzy.

No, selective service. There is no selective service so nobody must sign up.
They screwed me on one of those all are correct ones too.

It depends on what you mean by "must". You are still supposed to, by law, but I imagine that enforcement is a bit more lax now than it was during Vietnam.

[edit]I think that one enforcement method is a passport application.

Oh hell no. The site is slow as shit for me right now. No way I'm spending that much time on this. Maybe tonight.

It's taken a minute to navigate through answering 3 questions. I'll stop there. I got them all right though.
