Name one U.S. territory? — Answer & Explanation

Official Question & Answer

Question

Name one U.S. territory.

✦ OFFICIAL ANSWER ✦

Puerto Rico; U.S. Virgin Islands; American Samoa; Northern Mariana Islands; Guam

Why This Is the Answer

U.S. territories include Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. Name one.

Territories are areas that belong to the United States but are not states. Their residents are generally U.S. citizens (or nationals, in American Samoa's case) but cannot vote in presidential elections.

Puerto Rico is the largest and most well-known territory, with a population of about 3.2 million people.

💡 Interview Tip
