How is a Lieutenant represented in terms of insignia?

  1. Two gold bars

  2. One silver bar

  3. One gold bar

  4. Two silver bars

The correct answer is: One gold bar

A Lieutenant is typically represented by one gold bar as their insignia. This is often referred to as a single "railroad track" because of its resemblance to a train track. The incorrect choices are based on the insignia for other military ranks, such as Second Lieutenant (two gold bars) and Captain (two silver bars). It is important to note that the number and type of bars can vary depending on the specific branch and country's military.
