Demitri can work in the United States, while Aleki cannot seek employment.

Answer 1

C — Demitri, as a naturalized citizen, has essentially the full rights of a U.S. citizen (including voting and most public benefits and protections), while Aleki, as a permanent resident, may live and work in the U.S. but faces restrictions (no voting in federal elections, limits on some government jobs, possible deportation in some cases).
