What did the master mason do after extending his right hand?

• A. Extended his right hand in continuation of friendship and brotherly love and instructed me in the pass grip and word
• B. Waved and walked away
• C. Presented the working tools
• D. Led me to the east

Answer: (B)

Extending the right hand in this context is a greeting and expression of brotherly love. The moment after that gesture isn’t about giving more instruction; it’s signaling that the exchange has concluded and the master mason steps back. Waving and walking away shows the master acknowledging the contact and then letting the initiate move forward or await the next part of the ritual. The other options describe actions that belong to different moments in the ceremony—continuing with the pass grip and word, presenting the working tools, or being led to the east—so they don’t fit this specific immediate after-handshake moment.
