Question

many visas expire after a certain amount of time. people who qualify to remain in the united states need to apply for permanent resident status. those who are granted this status are given an identification card commonly known as a green card, showing they are allowed to work and live permanently in the united states. to qualify for a green card, immigrants must meet at least one of the criteria for eligibility. the pie chart below shows the percentage of green card recipients for each category in 2019. look at the chart. then follow the instructions below. u.s. immigrants by eligibility criteria pie chart with labels: immediate family of a u.s. citizen (49%), other relative of a u.s. citizen or permanent resident (19.8%), employees of a u.s. company (13.5%), refugees or asylum seeker (10.4%), other cases (7.3%) complete the text. the most common way people become eligible for a green card is by being blank people who already live in the united states. about 50 percent of blank are blank of u.s. citizens, which means blank parent. siblings of citizens, as well as spouses of permanent residents, are eligible under the blank category. the third - largest category is people who are blank. there are fewer people in this category because u.s. law limits how many people can be accepted each year. about 10 percent of green card recipients are blank. this group includes people who have faced hardship in their home country due to their religion, ethnicity, or other social group identification.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the pie chart's largest segment

The largest segment in the pie chart is "Immediate family of a U.S. citizen" with 49% (about 50%). So the first blank (how people become eligible) should relate to being related to U.S. citizens, so "related to".

Step2: Identify the 49% category

The 49% category is "Immediate family of a U.S. citizen", so the second blank (what 50% of immigrants are) is "immediate family".

Step3: Identify the 19.8% category

The 19.8% category is "Other relative of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident", so the third blank (category for siblings of citizens etc.) is "Other relative of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident".

Step4: Identify the third - largest category

The third - largest category (after 49% and 19.8%) is "Employees of a U.S. company" with 13.5%, so the fourth blank (third - largest category) is "employed by a U.S. company".

Step5: Identify the 10.4% category

The 10.4% category is "Refugees or asylum seeker", so the fifth blank (about 10% of recipients) is "refugees or asylum seeker".

Answer:

1. related to
2. immediate family
3. Other relative of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
4. employed by a U.S. company
5. refugees or asylum seeker
