Identify the specific requirement of the citizenship ceremony mentioned in the question.
The question asks about the 'Pledge of Loyalty'.
This distinguishes it from other parts of the ceremony, such as the Oath of Allegiance.
2
Recall the official text of the Pledge of Loyalty from the handbook.
The text states: 'I give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.'
Accurate recall of the official wording is necessary to identify the correct component.
