The following, "People want to ensure that Puerto Ricans always identify with the Spanish language and culture." Provides support for which of the following statuses for the country of Puerto Rico?

Separate Nation*
U.S. Commonwealth
U.S. State
Canadian Provience

Right.

Yes. Although, as a Commonwealth, the local culture of Puerto Rico is well maintained, but the only way to really protect it from influence from the U.S. would be independence.

To determine which status the statement supports for the country of Puerto Rico, let's analyze the information given.

The statement suggests that the people want to ensure that Puerto Ricans always identify with the Spanish language and culture. This implies a desire for cultural preservation and distinctiveness.

Puerto Rico's current status is that of a U.S. Commonwealth, which grants it a measure of self-governance while maintaining some political and economic ties to the United States. However, this statement suggests a sentiment that leans towards a more separate or independent status.

Therefore, the statement supports the status of Puerto Rico as a "Separate Nation" rather than a U.S. Commonwealth, U.S. State, or Canadian Province.
