Question 70 of 128 · American Government · Rights and Responsibilities

What is one way Americans can serve their country?

Accepted answers

  • Vote
  • Pay taxes
  • Obey the law
  • Serve in the military
  • Run for office
  • Work for local, state, or federal government

Any one of these is accepted, unless the question asks for more than one.

Why this is the answer

Serving the country does not have to mean wearing a uniform. Voting, paying taxes and obeying the law are ways of serving that most people do every year. Running for office and working for a local, state or federal government are others. And serving in the military, which in the United States is voluntary, is the one people think of first. Name any one. Memory hook: the everyday ways count, vote, pay, obey.
