Which mission corresponds to the abbreviation WAS?

• A. WAS
• B. SSC
• C. SCAR
• D. AMM

Answer: (A)

Recognizing acronyms and their stand-alone forms is what this item tests. If the option reads exactly as the abbreviation, it directly identifies the corresponding mission. Here, the abbreviation is WAS, and the option that reads WAS matches it exactly, so it corresponds to the WAS mission. The other options represent different abbreviations—SSC, SCAR, and AMM—and do not spell WAS, so they aren’t the correct match. In practice, acronyms are often built from the initial letters of a longer title, but the test here is simply matching the short form to the option that reads the same.
