Answer:

To preserve cultural homogeneity.

Explanation:

At its roots, a nation is a group of people who identify under similar characteristics and operate under a central government. There is more to it than that, but that's a good foundation. To ensure that all people share these characteristics, citizen tests make potential immigrants learn key characteristics of the nation they intend to inhabit. In a micro scale, think of the government as someone's home. One would only invite someone else in if they were confident the person coming in knew how to behave in a home. A citizenship test is the way of ensuring that.

Why English? English is not an official language, but it is spoken by the majority and so knowing English will help one integrate within society.

Why American Government knowledge? Some of it, truthfully, is very complex. It is not a perfect system and some of this knowledge is designed to keep people out. On the flip side, some of it comes down to wanting people to know how the law works in the U.S.A.

A man by the name of Abner Doubleday is the true inventor of baseball. true or false?
Ronch [10]
That's a myth. The Doubleday myth refers to the belief that the sport of baseball was invented in 1839 by future American Civil War general Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown, New York. Abner Graves presented a claim that Doubleday invented baseball to the Mills Commission, a group formed in 1905 that sought to prove whether the sport originated in the United States or was a variation of rounders. Graves' evidence was accepted by the Commission, and in 1908 it named Doubleday as the creator of baseball. The claim eventually received criticism, and most modern baseball historians consider it to be false.The myth nevertheless led to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's being located in Cooperstown.
