As speed decreases, AOA will need to increases to maintain the same amount of lift.
If airspeed is constant and all the changes is altitude. A higher altitude will require a higher AOA, due to the density of air changing.

It's true your AOA increases with altitude, but in the context of this question... May be underthinking this, but would your angle of attack decrease in speed mode so as to maintain the same speed in the climbout? That's why you occasionally need to reduce the speed or go to VS as you near your level-off - to get the nose back up.
The thing that governs climb rate in an aircraft is excess thrust available over that is required for level flight at a given speed.
The reason you may have to reduce speed in a climb up to altitude is that the thrust available is insufficient to maintain your desired climb rate, altitude, and airspeed at the same time.

Anyone got a seniority list? How junior did the award go? Last alternate?

FWIW, nobody will ever, ever, ask you that Mach question outside of the test.
Not on your interview. Not in training. Not on IOE. Not on the line. Not in recurrent. Not ever. :-)
Keep it above green dot, below V/MMO and you'll be fine.

You guys are seriously over-analyzing this question. Simple picture to give you a simple answer, regardless of how the question is asked:

What time does the 1 day orientation usually end at? For knowledge of looking at return flights home that same day?

You traveled up the day before and just had that one day orientation and left the same day?
