On the Great Seal of the United States, what does the eagle hold in its talons?
A A flag and a scroll
B A sword and a pen
C An olive branch and a bundle of arrows
Much like the flag of the United States, the seal features the number 13. The eagle grasps a bundle of 13 arrows and an olive branch with 13 leaves, representing the original 13 colonies. In its beak is a scroll bearing the Latin phrase E Pluribus Unum (out of many, one), which contains 13 letters.
The correct answer is An olive branch and a bundle of arrows.
