Respuesta :

4 A person becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen who is taking the Oath of Allegiance

Answer: 4. A person becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen who is taking the Oath of Allegiance.

Explanation:

In 1790 came the first naturalization law, by wich applicants had to take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. It was only in 1929 that an official standarized oath of allegiance was established. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which included the piece about doing work of national interest following civilian command, was the last significant modification to the oath we know today
