Hey, Baby, It's The Fourth Of July

UPDATE/NOTE:

As nonheroicvet noted in the comments, question #18 didn't have the correct answer among the four listed. I have corrected that error. I do apologize to my loyal five (yes, 5!) readers. As is stands only one reader has responded, & I don't believe a score was left.
