In the same pledge, if not the senior, what must I do?

• A. Obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and back them up in every way
• B. Take command myself
• C. Escape at once
• D. Disobey orders from those above me

Answer: (A)

The main idea is following the chain of command and backing up those who lead. When you’re not the senior, your duty is to carry out the lawful orders of those appointed over you and stand behind their decisions to support the mission. This cohesion keeps everyone moving in the same direction, reduces confusion, and preserves discipline. Taking command without authority would disrupt the chain of command, while disobeying orders or trying to escape undermines trust and safety. So, the best behavior is to obey lawful orders and back up your leaders in every way.
