Name one U.S. territory.

• A. U.S. Virgin Islands
• B. Puerto Rico
• C. Guam
• D. American Samoa

Answer: (A)

A U.S. territory is a region under federal sovereignty that is not a state, with its own local government but without full voting representation in Congress. The four options are all examples of U.S. territories, located in different parts of the world. The U.S. Virgin Islands fits this definition as a Caribbean territory acquired by the United States in 1917; its residents are U.S. citizens and it has local self-government, but it does not have voting representation in Congress or a vote in presidential elections. Since the question asks to name one territory, identifying the U.S. Virgin Islands demonstrates understanding of what counts as a territory. (The other options—Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa—are also U.S. territories.)
