Which statement about the Sergeant Major of the Army's uniform is accurate?

• A. The rank insignia has a large gold star in the center.
• B. The rank insignia does not have a large gold star in the center.
• C. The insignia includes three chevrons and three rockers with a star.
• D. The insignia features a gold eagle above the crown.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is understanding how the Sergeant Major of the Army’s insignia is designed. It consists of three chevrons and three rockers with a central star, and above that central motif sits a gold eagle. The star is present, but it isn’t a large star dominating the center. So saying there isn’t a large gold star in the center is accurate, because the star is a standard-sized central symbol, not an oversized one.

A statement claiming a large central star would exaggerate the size of the star. A note about “three chevrons and three rockers with a star” is true but incomplete, since the eagle above the insignia is also a defining feature. The option about a gold eagle above a crown is not consistent with the actual insignia, and the crown element isn’t part of the Sergeant Major of the Army’s design.
