What word completes this sentence: In 1939, as membership grew, the Future Farmers of America began providing services to support its members and a national FFA _________ was founded on the grounds of the original national center in Alexandria, Virginia?

• A. Camp
• B. Center
• C. Hall
• D. Lodge

Answer: (A)

As organizations grow, they create dedicated places for members to learn, gather, and participate in programs. In 1939, the FFA expanded its services for members by establishing a national FFA Camp on the grounds of the original national center in Alexandria, Virginia. The term camp conveys a site designed for youth activities, leadership development, and hands-on experiences—exactly the kind of programs the organization was expanding at that time. A center would imply duplicating the headquarters, while a hall or lodge feels less like a national program site for youth development within the FFA tradition.
