District of Columbia residents and residents of U.S. territories should answer that D.C. (or the territory where the applicant lives) has no U.S. senators.
Explanation
Name one of the current U.S. senators for the state where you live. Names change after elections, so check before your test. D.C. and the U.S. territories have no U.S. senators; answer as the question’s note says.
Memory tip
💡 Check your state’s two senators on the answers-by-state page or by ZIP code before your test.
