The matter has been causing students alot of anxiety lately.  \nBelow, Lynne Weintraub has indicated the word or phrase in each question on Part 9 that is most likely to be unfamiliar to students. Next to it you will see a way that a student can (minimally) describe the word/phrase. While these are in noway precise definitions, it is hoped that they will be enough to convince an examiner that the student has some idea of what the question is about.  \n\n| \\# | word/phrase | explanation |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1. | claimed | lied (about being a citizen) |\n| 2. | registered | signed up |\n| 3. | owe | not paid yet |\n| 4. | called yourself a non-resident on tax return | lied on a tax form |\n| 5.a. | communist | like Karl Marx (Pol Pot, Chairman Mao, or Ho Chi Minh) |\n| 5.b | advocated | worked for |\n|  | opposition | fighting against something |\n|  | totalitarian dictatorship | a government with no freedom |\n|  | overthrow | get rid of |\n|  | assaulting | hurting someone |\n|  | damage property | breaking something |\n|  | sabotage | breaking something/stopping something |\n| 6.a. | weapons | guns and bombs |\n| 6. b. | kidnapping | taking a person away and asking for money to give them back |\n|  | assassination | killing |\n|  | hijacking transportation | making a ship, plane, car, or truck go to a different place |\n| 7.a. | torture | hurt people |\n| 7.b. | genocide | killing many people |\n| 7.c. | killing | murder |\n| 7.d. | injuring | hurting someone |\n| 7.e. | forced sexual contact | rape |\n| 7.f. | practice religion | go to church (or temple or mosque) |\n| 7.g. | causing harm | hurting someone |\n\n[800.448.8878 | www. newreaderspress. com](800.448.8878 | www. newreaderspress. com)  \n\n| 8.a. | military unit | army |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 8. b. | paramilitary, self-defense, vigilante, rebel, guerrilla | army (people who fight with guns and bombs) |\n| 9. | prison, detention facility, labor camp | a kind of jail |\n| 10.a. | used (or threatened to use) weapons | tried to use guns and bombs to hurt people |\n| 10.b | — |  |\n| 10.c | — |  |\n| 11. | provided or transported weapons | gave or brought people guns or bombs |\n| 12. | weapons training | learn to use guns |\n|  | military training | learn to be a fighter |\n| 13. | recruit, enlist, conscript (a person under 15) | made a child be a fighter |\n| 14. | used (a person under 15) | made a child be a fighter |\n| 15.a. | committed a crime or offense | do something that is against the law |\n| 15.b | arrested, cited, or detained | have problems with police |\n| 16. | — |  |\n| 17.a. | engage in prostitution | get paid for sex |\n|  | procure or import prostitutes | pay for sex; try to buy or sell a person for sex |\n| 17.b. | produced controlled substances | made drugs |\n|  | distributed controlled substances | gave or sold drugs to people |\n|  | smuggled/trafficked controlled substances | brought drugs into the U.S. |\n| 17.c. | [married to more than one person] |  |\n| 17.d. | married to obtain a benefit | faked a marriage |\n| 17.e. | enter the country illegally | come here with no visa |\n| 17.f. | gambled/gambling | like playing cards for money (or making bets) |\n| 17.g. | failed to support dependents | decided not to pay child support money |\n|  | failed to pay alimony | decided not to pay money to an ex-wife or ex-husband |\n| 17.h. | misrepresentation to obtain public benefits | fraud |\n| 18 | give information that is fraudulent or misleading | tell lies |\n| 19. | lied to gain entry | lied in order to get a visa (get into the U.S.) |\n| 20. | placed in removal/deportation | a judge said you had to leave the U.S. |\n| 21. | removed/depo","cbCaib6PNtiz2HFv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib6PNtiz2HFv","pdf",83288,"English","# Part 9 vocabulary explanations\n## Misrepresentation, fraud, and entry\n## Criminal, violence, and weapons terms\n## Military, detention, and recruitment\n## Prostitution, drugs, and immigration consequences\n## Oath, Constitution, and citizenship responsibilities","[{\"question\":\"Why does the document focus on “tricky” words in Part 9 of the N-400?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that USCIS examiners should not test English using definitions of advanced legal terms as if they were ordinary words, yet students report being asked to explain them and failing when they cannot.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students use the vocabulary sheet when studying Part 9?\",\"answer\":\"Each entry pairs a word or phrase with a minimal student-friendly description, helping convince an examiner that the student understands what the question is about, even though the explanations are not precise legal definitions.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of topics do the listed vocabulary items cover?\",\"answer\":\"The items include terms related to lying or misrepresentation, criminal offenses, weapons and violence, military and recruitment, detention and prison concepts, controlled substances, prostitution, fraud, removal/deportation, and oath-of-allegiance responsibilities.\"}]","Citizenship RFTI - Vocabulary Sheet - 2024 | PDF",1790579969]
