Answer 1

In the context of U.S. territories, the following civil rights are generally granted:

1. **Trial by jury** - This right is typically granted in U.S. territories, similar to the states.

2. **Freedom of religion** - This fundamental right is protected under the First Amendment, which applies to U.S. territories as well.

3. **Electing local officials** - Residents of U.S. territories often have the ability to elect local officials, depending on the specific laws of the territory.

However, U.S. territories do not have **full Congressional representation**; they have a non-voting delegate in the House of Representatives but no representation in the Senate, thus this option is not correct.

So, the correct answers are:
- Trial by jury
- Freedom of religion
- Electing local officials
