The wings of the main part of the church, which may serve as small chapels for baptisms, weddings, and even small funeral services, are referred to as which term?

• A. Transepts
• B. Rubrics
• C. Epistle
• D. Gospel

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding church layout terms. The wings that extend from the central space and can function as small chapels are called transepts. They form the cross-shaped plan of many churches and often house side chapels or altars for ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, and small funeral services. Rubrics are the liturgical instructions that tell clergy what actions to perform during a service, not architectural parts. Epistle and Gospel refer to the scriptural readings presented during worship, not the building’s structure.
