What is maneuver number 27?

• A. Propeller reverse
• B. Line
• C. Left and right to center
• D. Pairs alternate left and right at the rail

Answer: (C)

This item tests recognizing a specific drill movement: left and right to center describes bringing the people on the left and right toward the centerline to tighten and center the formation. This centering action ensures even spacing and symmetry, which is important for the next maneuvers that rely on a balanced, centered unit. The other options describe actions that aren’t about converging to the center: propeller reverse is an engine operation, not a formation movement; a line is too vague to indicate a centered action; and pairs alternating left and right at the rail refers to a pattern along the rails rather than moving inward to the center.
