Which statement about the top ribbon row count is true?

• A. The top row must have the same number of ribbons as other rows
• B. The top row may have fewer ribbons than the other rows
• C. The top row must be centered
• D. The top row must be blank

Answer: (B)

Ribbons are arranged in rows on the left chest to create a balanced, centered display. Because you start filling from the left and the total number of ribbons can vary, the top row is often shorter than the rows below. This keeps the overall block visually even without forcing every row to have the same number of ribbons. If there aren’t enough ribbons to fill the top row, you simply move to the next row. So the top row may have fewer ribbons than other rows, which is expected and proper. The other statements would either require equal counts, rigid centering of the top row, or a blank top row, which isn’t typical practice.
