Question 22 of 23
Read the passage and then answer the question:
Each country's military is a little different. That's why the
United States and its allies use reference codes for
enlisted soldiers and officers so it's clear who outranks
whom. A commodore in the Australian Royal Navy is the
same rank as a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy. Both titles
have the same reference number, however: OF-6. This
helps clear up confusion.
Which sentence best describes the message of the passage?
A. The world's militaries are all a bit different from one another.
B. Reference numbers help allied militaries compare ranks.
C. American officers always outrank officers from other countries.
D. OF-6 is the reference number for commodores and admirals.
