Final answer:
The Oath of citizenship primarily consists of pledging allegiance to the United States and supporting and defending its Constitution and laws. Although not explicitly mentioned in the options, paying taxes and other civic responsibilities are implied through the broader commitment to the nation. The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you take the Oath of citizenship, you promise allegiance to the United States. Specifically, you declare that you renounce allegiance to any foreign sovereignty and that you will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States.
Among the options provided, the correct answer is A) Allegiance to the Queen, if the context implies allegiance to the reigning monarch as a symbolic representation of the nation one is becoming a citizen of.
However, if the Queen refers specifically to a British context, it might not be applicable to the U.S. Oath of Allegiance, which does not include any reference to British royalty.
The oath includes a promise to bear arms on behalf of the U.S. if required, support the Constitution, and renounce previous allegiances.
It does not specifically mention paying taxes, serving in the military as a standing requirement, or attending community events, though these may be implicit civic responsibilities that come with citizenship, such as respecting and obeying laws, and participating in the community. The correct option is A.
