What ribbon does a local chapter receive for recruiting seven more members than last year at the NLC?

The correct answer is "7-UP" because this recognition specifically acknowledges chapters that demonstrate significant membership growth. In the context of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), achieving an increase of seven members is noteworthy and aligns with the criteria for this particular ribbon. The name "7-UP" cleverly reflects the growth target, making it clear that this award is tied to the number of additional members recruited compared to the previous year.

Other options, while related to membership achievements, do not accurately match the specific criteria associated with the increase of exactly seven members. For example, "Recruitment Achievement" and "Membership Excellence" are more general terms that recognize overall success in recruitment without focusing on a specific growth number. The "Growth Award" may also acknowledge positive changes in membership but does not define the achievement as precisely as the "7-UP" ribbon does for that specific numerical goal.
