Which term corresponds to 'a full-fledged member of the guild'?

• A. Apprentice
• B. Journeyman
• C. Master craftsman
• D. Dean

Answer: (C)

In guild systems, progress moves from learner to skilled worker to recognized leader. An apprentice is just starting and is not yet capable of independent work or guild leadership. A journeyman has completed training and can work as a skilled craftsman, often traveling to gain experience, but still isn’t authorized to run a workshop or train others. The term that denotes someone who has earned the right to operate as a master, supervise apprentices, and be a full member of the guild is master craftsman. That status carries the authority and responsibility that define a full-fledged guild member. Dean is not related to guild hierarchy, as it’s an academic term.
