1. The English test is taken to assess the <em><u>writing, reading and speaking skills </u></em>of an applicant. Hence, the test is can be extensive, that can including writing essay, comprehension passages as well as a general interview.
There are a couple of exceptions. Applicants who are aged 50 and above, do not have to take the test, if they have lived in the United States for at least 20 years at the time of application.
However, they do have to give the Civics Test
2. The Civics test is conducted to ensure that the applicant understands the basics of the United States government, democracy and rights given to all people.
This can also include questions on the American Revolutionary War, three parts of the government and general history of the United States.
Unlike an English test, a Civics test is compulsory. However, the test is customized for each applicant depending on their age, background , education etc.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The main differences between the editorialist from the Chicago Times and President Lincoln on the purpose of the Civil War were the following.
The United States President Abraham Lincoln referred to the purpose of the Civil War in his famous Gettysburg speech, delivered on November 19, 1863.
He was in a ceremony in the National Cemetery located in Pennsylvania when he paid tribute to the American soldiers that had died in the war. And exhorted the people to follow the principles of liberty and justice that characterized the United States.
On the other hand, the editorial published in the Chicago Times criticized Lincoln and his message. The editorial published was: <em>"The cheeks of American people must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterances."</em>
The editorialists expressed that Lincoln's message was not a good one and out of context.
