Preparing for leadership in the world of work is the SkillsUSA motto. Which phrase best completes this statement?

• A. Motto
• B. Mission
• C. Vision
• D. Code of Ethics

Answer: (A)

Think about how organizations use different kinds of statements. A motto is a short, memorable phrase that captures the overall aim or guiding principle of an organization. The given line is a concise, inspirational message that expresses what SkillsUSA aims to promote in its members. That’s exactly what a motto does: it communicates a guiding idea in a brief, catchy way.

In contrast, a mission explains what the organization does and why it exists, a vision describes a desired future state, and a code of ethics lists standards of conduct and values. So the best fit for completing the statement is the motto.
