What tool is traditionally used to call a meeting to order?

Hammer
Gavel
Bell
Marker

The correct answer is: Gavel

The gavel is the traditional tool used to call a meeting to order primarily because it symbolizes authority and order in formal settings. When the presiding officer or chairperson strikes the gavel, it serves as a signal for members to focus and prepare for the business of the meeting. This practice fosters an atmosphere of respect and attentiveness, which is essential for effective discussions and decision-making in any formal assembly, including FFA meetings. Using a hammer, bell, or marker in this context would not convey the same level of formality or authority. While a bell might be used in some contexts to gain attention, it does not have the same established significance in formal meetings as the gavel does.
