90. What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?
Integrated Civics · Geography
Accepted answer(s)
- Atlantic (Ocean)
USCIS officers ask this on the 2008 Civics Test because understanding "integrated civics" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "Atlantic (Ocean)" is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.
This is question 90 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov.
