Application for citizenship for minors | Confusion regarding "Place of birth"

I am filling out the application for my minor son who was born in the US. His passport specifies "Place of birth" as Massachusetts. His COPR also specifies the "Place of birth" as Massachusetts.

However, in the application, it asks for City/Town and not the state. The application guide states to copy it from the passport if it is listed, but what is listed there is the state and not the City as asked in the form. I am confused about what I should enter? The city (which is not shown on Passport or the COPR) or the state (it is shown in Passport and COPR but not asked in the application). Has anyone faced a similar problem before?

I am thinking of entering city name followed by state but it won't exactly match like it is on Passport and COPR:

Lowell, Massachusetts

Hello @eagle922, For my child .. this is what did "CONNECTICUT, U.S.A. " as per the passport. which seems to take precedence over other documents such as birth certificate where it's explicitly written city/town.
