Answer 1

True:
- must pass a test to demonstrate knowledge of US history and civics.
- must speak, read, and write at least basic English.

Notes / why the others are false:
- You do not have to be married to or related to a U.S. citizen to naturalize (marriage to a U.S. citizen can shorten the required continuous-residence period in some cases).
- The minimum age is 18 (not 21).
- The usual continuous-residence requirement is 5 years as a lawful permanent resident (3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), not simply one year with a job.
- You are not required to vote (and noncitizens must NOT vote in federal elections).

Also: there are limited exemptions to the English and civics test for certain older applicants or those with qualifying disabilities.
