Question 48 • CA-Government Essentials (IS)

What is citizenship?

Answer
A
the status of being a legally recognized resident
B
the act of moving from one nation to another
C
discrimination against newcomers to a country
D
participation in a naturalization ceremony

Explanation

Citizenship is the legal status of belonging to a country, with rights and responsibilities under its laws. Being a legally recognized resident is the closest match. Moving to another nation is migration, and a naturalization ceremony is one way some people become citizens—not the meaning of citizenship itself.
