Question 124 of 128
The Nation’s first motto was “E Pluribus Unum.” What does that mean?
Official USCIS answers
- Out of many, one
- We all become one
Why this is the answer
“E Pluribus Unum” is Latin and means that many states or people form one nation. It was the nation’s first motto and appears on the Great Seal. That is why “Out of many, one” is an official answer.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: “pluribus” sounds like “plural” = many, and “unum” = one.
