When do we celebrate Independence Day? (65/20 version)

  1. A July 4
  2. B January 1
  3. C November 11
  4. D December 25

Why this is the answer

We celebrate Independence Day on July 4. This is a 65/20 civics question. July 4th marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, when the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. It is a federal holiday celebrated nationwide. January 1 is New Year's Day, November 11 is Veterans Day, and December 25 is Christmas. Knowing the date of Independence Day — July 4 — is a basic symbols-and-holidays item that appears on both versions of the civics test.
