What is the missing word from the FFA motto? 'Learning to _____ Doing to Learn Earning to Live Living to Serve'?

• A. Learn
• B. Do
• C. Earn
• D. Serve

Answer: (B)

The pattern being tested is the parallel wording of the FFA motto. The four phrases follow a rhythm: "Learning to Do," "Doing to Learn," "Earning to Live," "Living to Serve." The missing word should complete the first part in a natural, grammatical way that matches the established cadence.

The correct word is Do. It completes the phrase as "Learning to Do," which sets up the sequence where learning comes through action, then action leads to learning, and so on. The other options disrupt this familiar structure: "Learn" would repeat a form that doesn’t fit with the infinitive after "Learning to," "Earn" would shift the sequence to a different form than the rest of the motto, and "Serve" would duplicate the final idea instead of completing the first pair.
