Why this is the answer
Some duties belong only to citizens. Only U.S. citizens can serve on a jury, where ordinary people decide the facts in a trial, and only citizens can vote in federal elections. Both are ways citizens take part in running the country. Note that this question asks about a responsibility: serving on a jury is a duty when you are called.
