Which line is part of the Army Song's FIRST CHORUS?

• A. First to fight for the right,
• B. Proud of all we have done,
• C. We're the Army and proud of our name!
• D. The Army goes rolling along.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing what a chorus does in a song: it repeats a memorable message that emphasizes identity and unity. In the Army Song, the first chorus delivers a bold, inclusive assertion of who “we” are. The line “We're the Army and proud of our name!” directly states the Army’s identity and pride, making it the kind of concise, rallying line that a chorus is meant to deliver. It’s easy to sing along with and serves to unify all listeners as part of the same team.

The other lines fit the song differently. A line about “First to fight for the right” belongs to the verse, setting up the mission and duties. The line “The Army goes rolling along” is closely tied to the song’s refrains and title, and while it appears in the song, it functions more as a recurring mantra rather than the first chorus’s core identity statement. The line “Proud of all we have done” expresses pride, but it’s not the central, identity-focused line that defines the first chorus.
