"To honor and respect my vocation in such a way as to bring repute to myself" is part of the SkillsUSA ___________.

"To honor and respect my vocation in such a way as to bring repute to myself" is part of the SkillsUSA ___________.

• A. pledge
• B. motto
• C. creed
• D. oath

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of the kind of personal commitment described in SkillsUSA statements. The line expresses a promise to act in a way that honors and respects one’s vocation and brings credit to oneself, which is exactly the idea conveyed by a pledge—a personal vow to uphold certain standards of conduct. A motto is just a short guiding phrase, not a personal promise of behavior. A creed lays out beliefs or principles, and an oath is a formal, often sworn, promise before others. So the statement fits best as a pledge.
