Read: 'We elect a President in November.' In what month do we elect a President, according to the sentence?

Correct answer

In November

  1. A In November
  2. B In January
  3. C In May
  4. D In July

Why this is the answer

According to the sentence, we elect a President in NOVEMBER. U.S. presidential elections are held in November (the first Tuesday after the first Monday). The USCIS reading test uses sentences about elections and the calendar; reading vocabulary like 'elect,' 'President,' and 'November' is common. Reading the sentence correctly aloud demonstrates the basic English reading ability required for naturalization.
