What is the pay grade for the rank General?

• A. O-9 Lieutenant General
• B. O-10 General
• C. O-11 General of the Armies
• D. O-8 Brigadier General

Answer: (B)

In the officer pay-scale, each rank has a corresponding O-number. The general officer ladder goes Brigadier General at O-7, Major General at O-8, Lieutenant General at O-9, and General at O-10. A General of the Armies is an O-11 designation used in special historical/higher-context cases, not the standard General rank. So the General rank aligns with pay grade O-10. The other options place the rank at incorrect levels (for example, implying Brigadier General is higher or lower than it is, or suggesting a higher historic rank).
