Which insignia shows a Silver Background with 1 Scarlet Marking down the middle?

• A. W-5 Silver Background and 1 Scarlet Marking Down the Middle
• B. W-4 Silver Background and 3 Scarlet Markings
• C. W-3 Silver Background and 2 Scarlet Markings
• D. W-2 Gold Background and 3 Scarlet Markings

Answer: (A)

Identify insignia by two visual cues: the background color and the number and color of markings. A Silver Background with a single Scarlet marking down the middle matches the W-5 design. The other options differ either in background color or in how many scarlet markings are present, so they don’t fit the description. Specifically, a silver field with three scarlet markings is W-4, a silver field with two scarlet markings is W-3, and a gold field with three scarlet markings is W-2. The description given—silver background with one central scarlet marking—uniquely corresponds to W-5.
