I heard a rumor that the US Immigration Department is working on a new litnecy test for people entering the United States for the first time.

Please answer the following question correctly in order to process your application to enter the United States of American:

Which US President said, “Let my people go”

1. President Abraham Lincoln when he freed the slaves

2. President Richard M Nixon when he pardoned the Watergate burglar’s

3. President Barrack H Obama when he let the five Taliban detainees go in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl

4. None of the above

What does this example have to do with literacy?

It’s more of a counterexample.

It has nothing to do with literacy. It’s a question from a litnecy test, and I think it very successfully distinguishes between inner and outer levels of litnecy.

It makes me wonder if English is the OP’s first language. Or second.

Plus, there’s no such thing as the U.S. Immigration Department. There’s the (bureau of) Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

France. The entire exam is written in some kind of secret code.

French?

That would be Charlton Heston, president of the National Rifle Association, in his role as Moses in “The Ten Commandments.”

What did I win?

That’s exactly what I was thinking, and trying to remember when Moses was a U.S. President. I can remember back to Eisenhower, but I think Moses was a little earlier.

“Discuss the history of the Rocky Mountain states with specific reference to economic, social, and religious conflicts from the early westward expansion days to the present. What was the most significant factor in the development of the culture of Denver, Colorado?”

Weed.

Uh, so what’s the answer? (I’m agreeing with Heston - Damn dirty apes!)
