I'm studying for the civics test using the booklet that they gave me at the biometrics center and the file from the USCIS website (the questions are the same on both). I noticed that there are questions that have multiple answers with bullet points but it's not clear to me for all of them, which ones would require me to list all the points in my answer and which ones are simply suggesting different forms of the answer. Here are some examples:
8. What did the Declaration of Independence do?
▪ announced our independence (from Great Britain)
▪ declared our independence (from Great Britain)
▪ said that the United States is free (from Great Britain)
25. Why do some states have more Representatives than other states?
▪ (because of) the state’s population
▪ (because) they have more people
▪ (because) some states have more people
59. Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
▪ American Indians
▪ Native Americans
It seems to me that these are different correct versions of the answer and that I would only need to state one of them. For the following questions for example, I'm not sure if the bullet points also represent different versions of the correct answer and I only need to state one of them, or if I need to list all of them:
2. What does the Constitution do?
▪ sets up the government
▪ defines the government
▪ protects basic rights of Americans
4. What is an amendment?
▪ a change (to the Constitution)
▪ an addition (to the Constitution)
12. What is the “rule of law”?
▪ Everyone must follow the law.
▪ Leaders must obey the law.
▪ Government must obey the law.
▪ No one is above the law.
16. Who makes federal laws?
▪ Congress
▪ Senate and House (of Representatives)
▪ (U.S. or national) legislature
37. What does the judicial branch do?
▪ reviews laws
▪ explains laws
▪ resolves disputes (disagreements)
▪ decides if a law goes against the Constitution
61. Why did the colonists fight the British?
▪ because of high taxes (taxation without representation)
▪ because the British army stayed in their houses (boarding, quartering)
▪ because they didn’t have self-government
