Answer

The correct answer is duties and obligations.
The Pledge of Loyalty ends with the specific commitment to 'strive to fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.' This distinguishes the active effort required for civic duties from the faithful observation of laws or the upholding of values.

The question requires identifying the specific noun phrase linked to a specific commitment in the pledge.
