Answer 2

To become a naturalized citizen of the United States, a person must do the following:

1. **Pass a test demonstrating knowledge of U.S. history and civics.**
2. **Reside in the United States for at least five years.** (This requirement can be reduced to three years if married to a U.S. citizen.)
3. **Speak, read, and write basic English.**

The other options, such as holding a job with a U.S. company or marrying a citizen, are not requirements for naturalization. So, the correct selections are:

- Pass a test demonstrating knowledge of U.S. history and civics.
- Reside in the United States for at least five years.
- Speak, read, and write basic English.
