Choose the correctly spelled holiday: ____ is in July.

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

Independence Day

  1. A Independence Day
  2. B Indepedence Day
  3. C Independance Day
  4. D Independense Day

Why this is the answer

INDEPENDENCE DAY is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under HOLIDAYS. The correct spelling is 'I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E D-A-Y' — note the 'ence' ending, not 'ance.' A common dictation sentence is 'Independence Day is in July.' The writing test asks the applicant to write one dictated sentence correctly out of up to three. 'Independence' is a commonly misspelled word, so practicing it is worthwhile. As with all writing-test answers, minor errors that still let the sentence be understood are generally acceptable, but accurate spelling builds confidence.
