Well all I can say is you have to pass an English test as well as the citizenship test

UK Border Agency | ESOL course in English with citizenship

And Cashy, Margaret, as I said earlier I don't know who sets the questions or what the criteria are for what they include. I think they should have a far more practical slant. Perhaps we need to read the book to find out more. I just took the official practice test on this website and failed again but possibly because they had failed to include all the multiple choice options on some of the pages!! Ho hum...

Life in the United Kingdom - The Official Practice Citizenship Test
