Which statement is attributed to Cpl. John Mackie in the material?

• A. First Marine awarded Medal of Honor
• B. First Marine awarded Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq
• C. The foundation of Marine Corps leadership is discipline
• D. Subordinates should be addressed by first and last name

Answer: (A)

The item tests attribution in the material—which statement is linked to Cpl. John Mackie. The material assigns him the specific milestone of being the first Marine awarded the Medal of Honor. This fits because it ties a notable, historic achievement directly to his name, making it the unique and correct attribution in the context given. The other statements describe different ideas or contexts (actions in Iraq, a general claim about the Marine Corps’ leadership foundation, or a general naming convention for subordinates) that are not the attribution the material makes to Mackie. So the statement about him being the first Marine awarded the Medal of Honor is the one that matches the material’s attribution.
