Which list correctly represents the five FFA degrees?

• A. Discovery, Greenhand, Chapter, State, American
• B. Active, Alumni, Collegiate, and Honorary
• C. Placement, Entrepreneurship, Research, Exploratory
• D. Sand, Silt, Clay

Answer: (A)

The five FFA degrees show advancement through recognition in the organization: Discovery, Greenhand, Chapter, State, American. Discovery is for younger members just starting in agricultural education, Greenhand for first-year high school FFA members, Chapter for active members who have earned Greenhand and meet chapter requirements, State for members who have demonstrated leadership and service at the state level, and American for the highest, national-level degree recognizing extensive leadership, SAE involvement, and service. This exact sequence is why the list is correct. The other options mix in different concepts—such as general membership statuses, various SAE areas, or unrelated terms like soil textures—so they don’t represent the five FFA degrees.
