The officer dictates: 'People vote for the President.' Which is the correctly written sentence?

Reviewed by Jordan Morley, Editorial Lead at 247SimpleTests. Written by the 247SimpleTests Editorial Team from the official source material cited on every question.

Correct answer

People vote for the President.

  1. A People vote for the President.
  2. B People voted for President
  3. C Peple vote for the Presidant
  4. D people vote for the president

Why this is the answer

Correct: 'People vote for the President.' — capital 'P' at the start, 'President' capitalized (proper noun/title), correct spelling, and end punctuation. Errors to avoid: lowercase first word and 'president' (should be capitalized as a title here), wrong tense ('voted'), missing word ('the'), and misspellings ('Peple,' 'Presidant'). Key vocabulary: PEOPLE (P-E-O-P-L-E), VOTE (V-O-T-E), PRESIDENT (P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T). The USCIS writing test requires writing the dictated sentence with correct, recognizable words.
