During an Ordeal Ceremony evaluation, Meteu silently motions to the candidates to sit during the Legend. The candidates stay seated for Nutiket’s Explanation of the Ordeal, and Nutiket motions for them to stand before Allowat Sakima continues with the remainder of the ceremony. How should this be evaluated?

Kneeling and subservient positions are strictly forbidden--the action should be disallowed.
- B.
This action is allowable, but I personally disagree with it, and will try to convince the team not to do it when I give my feedback.
- C.
I can answer “yes” to all of my “Quick Reference” questions, so the action is allowable. I will ask the team why they do it that way, and then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having the candidates sit or stand.
- D.
I have never seen it before, so it is not allowed.
Correct Answer
C. I can answer “yes” to all of my “Quick Reference” questions, so the action is allowable. I will ask the team why they do it that way, and then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having the candidates sit or stand.Explanation

When Allowat Sakima gives the candidates their opportunity to withdraw without discredit in the pre-Ordeal or Brotherhood Ceremonies, the ceremonialists turn their back to the candidates. Nutiket, however, remains facing the candidates. Is this correct?
