The FFA degree program consists of four levels: Discovery, Greenhand, Chapter, and State. The American degree is the highest level of FFA degree that can be earned. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" because all of these levels are considered FFA degrees.

The FFA creed was adopted in 1930, making it the 3rd convention where the creed was officially accepted.

FFA (Future Farmers of America) was established in 1928. This organization was created to provide agricultural education and leadership opportunities for students interested in the field.

Public Law 740 is the correct answer because it refers to the Federal Charter that was granted to FFA (Future Farmers of America) by Harry S. Truman in 1950.

In this case, Public Law 740 granted FFA the authority to operate as a federally chartered organization, recognizing its importance in promoting agricultural education and leadership development among young people.

Most Subsidiary Motions can be reconsidered because subsidiary motions are used to modify or delay the main motion. They are designed to help the group make decisions and ensure that the main motion is properly discussed and considered. Reconsideration is a common practice in parliamentary procedure, allowing members to revisit a decision and potentially change their vote. Therefore, it is likely that most subsidiary motions can be reconsidered to ensure a fair and thorough decision-making process.

In 1965, the NFA (National Football Alliance) merged with the FFA (Football Federation of America).

Expedition is not a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (SAE) because it does not involve hands-on agricultural activities or research. SAE programs typically involve practical experiences in agriculture, such as entrepreneurship, placement, agriscience research and experimentation, and exploratory activities. Expeditions, on the other hand, are usually organized trips or journeys for educational or exploratory purposes, which may not necessarily involve direct involvement in agricultural activities.

The Chapter degree pin is silver.

The statement "All Subsidiary Motions cannot be Seconded" is false. Subsidiary motions, which are used to modify or delay the main motion in a meeting, can indeed be seconded. Seconding a motion means that another member supports the motion and it can be discussed and voted on by the group. Therefore, subsidiary motions can be seconded just like any other type of motion in a meeting.

To Lay on the Table is not a Privileged Motion because Privileged Motions are motions that have the highest precedence and can interrupt the normal order of business. They are typically urgent matters that require immediate attention. However, To Lay on the Table is a subsidiary motion that allows a pending motion to be set aside temporarily, without a direct vote on the pending motion itself. It does not have the same level of urgency or importance as the other options listed, which are all examples of Privileged Motions.

The National FFA Band performs at the National FFA Convention annually. The first National FFA Band performance dates back to 1947, and it continues to be a tradition at the convention each year.

Privileged motions are a category of motions in parliamentary procedure that are considered urgent and take precedence over other business. These motions are typically related to matters of high importance or emergencies. One characteristic of privileged motions is that they are not debatable, meaning that they cannot be discussed or argued upon before a vote is taken. Therefore, the statement "All Privileged Motions are NOT debatable" is true, as it correctly captures this aspect of privileged motions.

All subsidiary motions cannot be interrupted because they are designed to assist the main motion and follow a specific order. Subsidiary motions are used to modify or delay the main motion, and they must be considered before any other business can be conducted. Since they have a specific purpose and order, they cannot be interrupted by other motions or actions. Therefore, the statement that all subsidiary motions cannot be interrupted is true.

The Advisor Report is not an Order of Business because it is not a standard item that is typically included in the agenda of a meeting. The other options listed, such as Opening Ceremony, Minutes of the previous meeting, Officer Reports, Committee Reports, New Business, Ceremonies, Closing Ceremony, and Entertainment, Recreation, and or refreshments, are all common items that are typically included in the Order of Business for a meeting. The Advisor Report may be included as a separate item or as part of Officer Reports or Committee Reports, but it is not a standalone Order of Business item.

The Secretary begins the Chapter FFA degree ceremony. This is because the Secretary is responsible for keeping records and conducting correspondence, which includes organizing and leading ceremonies. They play a crucial role in maintaining the organization's documentation and communication, making them the appropriate officer to start the ceremony.

To Postpone Indefinitely is not an Incidental Motion because it is a main motion rather than a procedural motion. Incidental Motions are used to address specific issues that arise during a meeting, such as clarifying a motion or changing the order of business. To Postpone Indefinitely, on the other hand, is a motion that seeks to kill a main motion without a direct vote on the merits of the main motion. It is a substantive motion that requires a full debate and vote, making it distinct from the other options listed, which are all examples of procedural motions.

In 1973, Official Dress standards were created.

The correct answer is 1948. This is the only option provided that falls after the other given years. It is likely that FFA week was not celebrated before 1948, as the options provided do not include any earlier dates.

To recess is not a subsidiary motion because it is considered a main motion. Subsidiary motions are used to modify or delay action on a main motion, while a recess motion is used to temporarily suspend the meeting or adjourn for a specific period of time. Therefore, it does not fall under the category of subsidiary motions.

To withdraw a motion is not a motion that brings a question before the assembly. When a member wishes to remove their own motion from consideration, they can request to withdraw it. This does not require a vote or any formal action from the assembly. The motion to reconsider allows the assembly to review a previously made decision, the motion to rescind allows the assembly to cancel or revoke a previous action, and the motion to discharge a committee allows the assembly to dissolve a committee and take over its responsibilities.

This statement is false because "Motions that bring a question before the assembly" can be interrupted. In parliamentary procedure, there are certain motions that can interrupt the current discussion and take precedence over other motions. These interrupting motions include the motion to adjourn, the motion to recess, and the motion to reconsider, among others. Therefore, not all motions that bring a question before the assembly are immune to interruption.

In 1907, the Texas Legislature mandated that all schools would be required to offer the elementary agriculture course. This means that starting from that year, it became compulsory for schools in Texas to provide this specific course to their students. This decision was likely made to ensure that students receive education and knowledge about agriculture, which is an important industry in Texas.

The correct answer is 1925. This is the year in which the Future Farmers of Virginia was established.

In 1903, Mr. B. Youngblood introduced an elementary agriculture class to public schools in East Texas. This indicates that he was the pioneer in bringing agriculture education to the region during that year.

In 1944, the Future Farmers of America Foundation was formed. This organization was established to support and promote agricultural education and leadership development among young farmers. It has played a significant role in providing resources and opportunities for students interested in pursuing careers in agriculture.
