Whither did you follow your leader?

• A. Back to the door.
• B. Around the lodge to the Master in the East.
• C. Once regularly around the lodge room, then to the Junior Warden in the south, Senior Warden in the West, and Worshipful Master in the East.
• D. Directly to the altar.

Answer: (C)

This question tests the traditional progression a candidate follows after entering the lodge: you walk around the room in a set order to acknowledge the officers in their proper stations. The correct path is to move once around the lodge, then go to the Junior Warden in the south, then to the Senior Warden in the West, and finally to the Worshipful Master in the East. This sequence reinforces respect for the lodge’s officers and the lodge’s arrangement.

Other options don’t fit because they skip part of that established circuit or jump to a different point in the ritual order. Returning to the door isn't the intended path, rushing directly to the altar bypasses the officers’ stations, and going only to the Master omits the required visit to the other officers in their seats.
