Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Every cycle of generalized eigenvectors of $A$ can be associated with exactly one eigenvector of $A$. In fact, if $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ of multiplicity $m$, then it can be shown that there are $m$ linearly independent generalized eigenvectors of $A$ corresponding to $\lambda$.
