Senior Deacon Fellow Craft Degree Practice Test

The idea being tested is the idea of a whispered cue used to verify someone’s belonging during an examination or entry ritual. Shibboleth has historical meaning as a password or distinguishing sign that shows someone is part of a group and trusted to pass a doorway or test. In many lodge traditions, a whispered word serves as that test, making Shibboleth the most precise term for this concept. Open sesame is from a different story and not used as a ritual password; Pass-word and Secret word are generic phrases that don’t carry the specific sense of an insiders’ test. So the best choice is Shibboleth because it uniquely captures the idea of a recognized whispered password used to identify members.
