The term "Capitol" is often used to refer to the United States Capitol building, where the U.S. Congress meets.

    A. Look
    Explanation
    The word "regarder" in French can be translated into English as "watch" or "look." Both of these options accurately convey the meaning of observing something with intention.

"The subway" is a term used in North America, while "the underground" is more commonly used in British English. Both phrases accurately describe a transportation system that operates below ground level. "A segway" is not a correct option as it refers to a two-wheeled personal transportation device.

    Explanation

"The States" is a common nickname for the United States, "The United States" is the official name of the country, and "The US" is an abbreviation commonly used to refer to the United States.
