Which rank corresponds to E2?

• A. Private First Class
• B. Sergeant
• C. Sergeant Major
• D. Private E2

Answer: (D)

Enlisted pay grades map to rank titles, with E-1 through E-9 representing different levels. An E-2 is one step above entry level and is designated as Private in the Army’s system, commonly written as Private E-2. The other options correspond to higher pay grades: Private First Class is E-3, Sergeant is E-5, and Sergeant Major is E-9. So the rank that matches E-2 is Private E-2.
