Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

Accepted answer

(Thomas) Jefferson

Give this answer aloud when the officer asks. The civics test is spoken, not written.

This question is on the 65/20 list: applicants who are 65 or older and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least 20 years study only these 20 starred questions, and may take the test in their language of choice.

Practice saying this out loud

The civics test is administered orally — an officer reads a question and you answer by speaking. Practising by tapping multiple-choice buttons trains the wrong skill.
