If dictated: 'People in America have the right to vote.' Choose the correctly spelled and capitalized version:

Correct: 'People in America have the right to vote.' Key elements: (1) FIRST WORD CAPITALIZED: 'People' starts with capital P; (2) AMERICA capitalized (proper noun, name of country); (3) Lowercase common words ('in,' 'have,' 'the,' 'to'); (4) RIGHT spelled 'r-i-g-h-t' (not 'rite' which has a different meaning, like a ceremony); (5) Period at the end. WORDS THAT SOUND ALIKE (homophones) but are SPELLED DIFFERENTLY: RIGHT (correct, or a freedom/privilege) vs WRITE (to put words on paper) vs RITE (a ceremony, like a religious rite); TO (preposition: to vote) vs TOO (also, very) vs TWO (the number 2); THERE (location) vs THEIR (possessive, belonging to them) vs THEY'RE (they are); YOUR vs YOU'RE; ITS vs IT'S. Pay attention to context — the sentence dictation will give you context to choose the correct word. RIGHT is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list — it refers to the political/civic concept of rights (freedom of speech, right to vote, etc.). Common dictation sentences using 'right': 'People have the right to vote.' 'The right to vote is important.' VOTE is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under VERBS. Correct spelling: 'V-O-T-E.' Voting is both a RIGHT and a RESPONSIBILITY of citizens. Only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections; the voting age is 18 (26th Amendment, 1971).
