Question

to become a citizen of the united states, a person must
○ have been born in the united states.
○ have been born or naturalized in the united states.
○ have learned to speak english.
○ have cousins who are citizens of the united states.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the requirements for U.S. citizenship. Birthright citizenship (being born in the U.S.) or naturalization (the legal process to become a citizen) are the main ways to be a U.S. citizen. Being born in the U.S. is not the only way (naturalization is also valid, so the first option is incorrect). Learning English is a requirement for naturalization but not the sole or main criterion for citizenship. Having cousins who are citizens has no bearing on one's own citizenship. So the correct option is the one stating "have been born or naturalized in the United States."

Answer:

B. have been born or naturalized in the United States.
