The school _________ should play a prominent role in the chapter banquet according to the FFA Manual.

• A. Administration
• B. Students
• C. Parents
• D. Alumni

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing who should represent the school at a chapter banquet to show official support. The FFA Manual calls for the school administration to play a prominent role because this event is an official school activity connected to the agricultural education program. When a principal or other administrator speaks, presents awards, or helps coordinate the event, it signals formal endorsement from the school, reinforces the partnership between the FFA chapter and the school, and aligns the banquet with school policies and resources. This official presence helps give the banquet legitimacy within the school and underscores the value the school places on its agricultural education program.

Students, while central to planning and participating in the banquet, do not provide the same level of institutional representation. Parents and alumni may attend and support, but their roles do not convey the same formal school endorsement as administration.
