Why this is the answerState capitals rarely change, but the right answer depends entirely on where you live — often it is not the state’s biggest city. The app fills in yours once you set your state.
This answer is free — here and everywhere else on the internet. Still having it in the interview room, out loud, in English, under pressure: that’s what Naturalizer trains.
In the Naturalizer app, this question is taught inside “The machine” — how the three branches of the U.S. government work and check each other. On the real test, an officer asks up to 20 of the 128 questions out loud; 12 correct answers pass.
