    Tarot playing cards comprise of four suits also known as the _______.

    • Major Arcana

    • Minor Arcana

    Correct Answer
    A. Minor Arcana
    Explanation
    Tarot playing cards are divided into two main sections: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent significant life events and spiritual lessons. On the other hand, the Minor Arcana is made up of four suits, similar to regular playing cards, which are Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles. Each suit in the Minor Arcana represents different aspects of life and provides more specific guidance and insights into everyday situations. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "Minor Arcana."

    Explanation
    Ordinary playing cards typically consist of 52 cards divided into four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades) with each suit containing cards numbered from 2 to 10 and four face cards (jack, queen, king, and ace). These cards are considered as the Minor Arcana in tarot card readings. The Major Arcana, on the other hand, consists of 22 cards that represent significant life events and spiritual lessons. Therefore, the statement that ordinary playing cards represent only the Minor Arcana and not the Major Arcana is true.
