Which of these is a U.S. territory?

1. A U.S. territory belongs to the United States but is not a state. 2. The territories are Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. 3. Puerto Rico is on that list, so it is the answer. 4. Rhode Island is a state, and it was one of the 13 original states. 5. New Mexico is a state that borders Mexico. 6. New Jersey is a state as well, so the trap here is that three options are states with island or place names. _Source: USCIS Civics Flash Cards M-623 (rev. 02/12), public domain, official civics question 91_
