How were you then disposed of?

• A. I was placed in the Northeast corner of the Lodge room.
• B. I was placed in the Northeast corner of the Lodge room, my feet forming a right angle, my body erect, facing the Worshipful Master.
• C. I was placed in the Southeast corner.
• D. I was placed at the door.

Answer: (B)

In this part of the ritual, the candidate’s exact position in the lodge is prescribed to show readiness, attentiveness, and proper reverence as instruction begins. The correct description—being placed in the Northeast corner, with feet forming a right angle, the body erect, and facing the Worshipful Master—matches the standard disposition used during this phase of the Entered Apprentice ceremony. This position ensures the candidate is properly oriented toward the Master, standing ready to receive guidance. The other options don’t fit because they describe placements or postures not used at this moment of the rite: being at the door is a different stage of entry, while the Southeast corner or a less specific placement in the Northeast corner does not align with the prescribed posture of a candidate awaiting instruction.
