What are signs?

• A. A secret handshake and a look.
• B. Right angles, horizontals, and perpendiculars.
• C. The grip, word, and token.
• D. The ground-floor symbol.

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how “signs” are shown in this setting: they’re the physical gestures or postures used as a recognition signal, tied to the square’s symbolism of upright conduct. The option that mentions right angles, horizontals, and perpendiculars fits best because the square emphasizes precise geometric relationships—forming and recognizing straight, properly oriented lines. In the Entered Apprentice context, a sign reflects this idea of being upright and properly aligned, communicated through a specific posture that embodies these geometric cues.

The other ideas touch on different aspects of recognition—handshakes, passwords, or tokens—but they describe elements outside the geometric sign focus emphasized here.
