How were you then disposed of?

• A. Sent to the kitchen.
• B. Placed in front of the altar.
• C. Left in silence.
• D. Led three times regularly around the lodge room, then to the junior warden in the south, the senior warden in the west and the worshipful master in the east.

Answer: (D)

In the Master Mason ceremony, disposal is a ceremonial finish that shows the candidate’s return to the lodge’s order and recognition by the officers. The candidate is led around the lodge room three times in the regular sequence, then presented successively to the three principal officers: first to the Junior Warden in the south, then to the Senior Warden in the west, and finally to the Worshipful Master in the east. This orderly procession reinforces the structure of the lodge and seals the candidate’s reception by those officers, marking his completed progression in the degree.

The other options don’t fit because they don’t reflect the ritual practice of being moved around the lodge and presented to the officers in that specific sequence.
