"I will not pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands." This must be the statement of thousands of Puerto Ricans living in the island today, wishing that their small island would once and for all become free from the colonization of the United States. Puerto Rico has been living under U. S. domination for the past 92 years and it’s considered the last nation in Latin America that is still living in colonization. Puerto Ricans want to be free and should be allowed to be free; to have the opportunity to vote for the president who sends its young people to war, to have their own currency, to fly one flag in all their schools and finally to feel pride in being an independent nation and not labeled by terms like “territory” and “commonwealth”. Puerto Rico ought to be independent and refuse commonwealth to the United States of America. Choose the best concluding statement for the paragraph. A) Puerto Rico ought to be independent and refuse commonwealth with the United States of America. B) Puerto Rico's independence is ultimately an internal question, entirely the affair of its citizens. C) In spite of some good arguments for independence, Puerto Rico is better off staying a part of the USA. D) There are some excellent arguments for Puerto Rico to go independent, and some good arguments for them to remain a commonwealth as well.
