Which code word corresponds to the letter S?

Which code word corresponds to the letter S?

• A. Sierra
• B. Tango
• C. Romeo
• D. Lima

Answer: (A)

In radio and signaling, letters are spoken with distinct code words to prevent miscommunication. In that system, the letter S is spoken as Sierra. This set of code words is designed so each letter has a unique, easily recognizable sound, especially in noisy environments. The other options correspond to different letters—Tango stands for T, Romeo for R, and Lima for L—so they don’t represent S.
