What was there done with you?

• A. I was made a master mason.
• B. I was passed to the next degree.
• C. I was dismissed.
• D. I was asked to retake the oath.

Answer: (A)

In this situation the key idea is what happens at the end of the Master Mason degree. When a candidate completes the Master Mason ceremony, the proper way to describe the event is that they were made a Master Mason. That phrasing reflects the formal conferral of the degree and the new status within the lodge.

The other options don’t fit as the outcome of this particular ceremony: being passed to the next degree would refer to moving on to a subsequent degree, which isn’t the event described here since the Master Mason degree is the final standard degree in Craft Masonry; being dismissed implies leaving the lodge or the proceedings, which isn’t the point of the ceremony; and being asked to retake the oath is not the typical result of finishing the Master Mason degree.
