Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

" If you are like millions of Americans, your government know-how might be more of a "know-little. "Civics is the study of the rights and duties of citizens. A good citizen needs to know at leastbasic information about the nation, such as how the government is run. He or she also needsto know about the country's history and the problems and challenges facing the nation today.However, studies have found that a lot of Americans don't know enough about the UnitedStates. In one study, only one in three Americans could name the three branches of U.S.government. In another, less than 4 percent of teens in Arizona could pass a U.S. citizenshiptest. That is a test people from other countries need to pass to become U.S. citizens.Those findings could make Uncle Sam want to move to Canada! After all, if U.S. citizens don'tknow about their country, they can't help run it, said former U.S. Supreme Court JusticeSandra Day O'Connor. "We are [very lucky] to have a stable ... government," she toldWRNews. "But ... it is the citizens of our nation who must preserve our system of government,and we cannot forget that. "
