Multiple Choice

What did the Worshipful Master declare about your state and what charge did he give you?

The key idea here is how a Worshipful Master confirms a mason’s new status and pairs it with a specific charge in that moment. The best choice reflects both parts: the Master declares your state and then gives you a clear instruction to perform a ritual action as you depart. Saying you should salute the Wardens and leave captures that combination—you're acknowledged in your new role and given a concrete closing act that shows respect to the lodge and completes the ceremony. The other possibilities don’t fit as neatly. They either describe a general behavior rather than stating your new status plus a specific closing charge, or they imply a different action that isn’t tied to the moment of declaration and departure in the ritual.
