What is the radio code for the letter A

  1. Apple

  2. Alpha

  3. August

  4. Allow

The correct answer is: Alpha

The correct response is 'Alpha'. This is because the Ontario Security Guard License Practice Test uses the NATO phonetic alphabet for radio communication. The NATO phonetic alphabet is an internationally accepted system of phonetic letters for clear communication over radio transmissions. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a distinct word to prevent confusion between similar sounding letters. In this system, the letter 'A' is represented by 'Alpha'. It ensures that the pronunciation of 'A' is universally understood, regardless of the speaker's native language or regional accent.
