2008 test · Question 91 of 100
Name one U.S. territory.
Official USCIS answers
- Puerto Rico

- American Samoa
- Northern Mariana Islands
- Guam
Why this is the answer
A U.S. territory is an area that belongs to the United States but is not a state. Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam are all territories. They have their own governments, but residents are U.S. citizens or nationals and do not vote in presidential elections.
💡 Memory tip: Remember the five territories with the phrase 'PGA + 2': Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands.
