Name two ways a person can become a U.S. citizen

• A. By birth only
• B. Birth (Natural Birth) or naturalization
• C. By residency visa only
• D. By winning a political election

Answer: (B)

Citizenship in the United States can come in two ways: being born here or becoming a citizen through the naturalization process. If you are born in the U.S. (or certain U.S. territories), you automatically become a citizen at birth. If you weren’t born here, you can become a citizen later through naturalization, a legal process for immigrants that usually requires living in the U.S. for a certain period, showing knowledge of English and civics, having good moral character, and meeting other requirements, followed by taking an oath of allegiance. Possessing a residency visa does not make you a citizen, and winning a political election does not grant citizenship.
