Answer 1

To become a U.S. citizen, Jose needs to meet the following requirements:

1. He must wait at least five years. (This applies if he is applying for citizenship based on becoming a permanent resident; if he is married to a U.S. citizen, the waiting period is shorter, typically three years.)
2. He must take a citizenship test. (Part of the naturalization process involves passing a civics and English test.)

The other options ("He must marry someone who is already a citizen" and "He must promise to serve in the military") are not necessarily requirements for citizenship. Marrying a U.S. citizen can expedite the process but is not a requirement for all applicants. Serving in the military can provide another path to citizenship but is not mandatory for most applicants.

So the correct responses for Jose would be:

• He must wait at least five years.
• He must take a citizenship test.
