Might I suggest that you search for these answers yourself instead of trying to cheat? A lot of these questions come from the U.S. Citizenship test. If haven't already taken it for your high school then you are going to and it is something you have to pass to get credit for your civics/government class. It would be beneficial to you for you to learn these.
I also feel as if you didn't even read these and you just copied them onto the internet in the hopes that someone would do your homework for you. There are some really easy answers where all you have to do is make a basic inference.
