British, British or British? A Final Exam

[Goddlefrood]

> CJ:
 
> Q1: Northern Ireland is NOT part of which of the following:
> b. The Republic of Ireland

Easy, although part of Ulster is in the RoI and part in Northern 
Ireland (notwithstanding what the PIRA might tell you).

> Q2: The Republic of Ireland IS part of which of the following:
> c. The British Isles

Again, simple enough, it is a separate Country and has been since 
the 1920s.

> Q3: Which of the following IS true:
> c. Ireland is not a country

It's an island but Ireland is also used to refer to the RoI ;-)
 
> Q4: Which of the following is NOT true:
> b. Wales is part of Great Britain and the British Commonwealth

Wales being part of the UK is not a part of the Commionwealth, the 
UK *IS*. Cricket's a breeze, easily understood.
 
> Q5: Of which of the following is Elizabeth II NOT queen?
> c. Man United

To some she might be, though.

> Q6: Which of the following IS true:

None were true, for which see Question 4.
 
> Q7: Which of the following is NOT true:
> a. The Irish Republican Army voted overwhelmingly for George Bush

I'm surprised anyone *did* vote for him.

> Q8: True or false: The British government is the government of 
> the United Kingdom.

False, the Parliament of Westminster is the government of the UK.

Still confused?
