The phrase 'Lamp of Learning' is the logo of which organization?

• A. National Merit Scholarship Corporation
• B. College Board
• C. Educational Testing Service
• D. American Council on Education

Answer: (A)

A lamp as a symbol of learning signals illumination, study, and scholarly achievement. The Lamp of Learning is a traditional emblem used by organizations that promote education and recognize academic excellence. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses this lamp imagery in its branding to reflect its mission of awarding scholarships to outstanding students and highlighting educational opportunity. The other organizations—College Board, Educational Testing Service, and the American Council on Education—have logos that use different symbols, so they don’t align with the Lamp of Learning. Because the lamp emblem is tied to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, that organization is the correct match.
