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. Speak, read, and write basic English

The other options are not requirements for naturalization:

  • Residing in the United States for a certain number of years is required, but it is typically five years (or three years if married to a U.S. citizen), not seven.
  • Holding a job with a U.S. company is not a requirement.
  • Marrying a citizen is not a requirement unless it is part of the process for specific immigration categories.

So, the correct responses are:

  • pass a test demonstrating knowledge of U.S. history and civics
  • speak, read, and write basic English
