Which term is the main body of the church where seating is provided?

• A. Nave
• B. Ark
• C. Daven
• D. Narthex

Answer: (A)

In church architecture, the central space where the congregation sits is the nave. It is the main body of the building, running from the entrance toward the sanctuary and typically containing the pews or seating for worshippers. The term reflects its purpose as the primary gathering space for the faithful during services.

The other terms describe different parts or concepts: the narthex is just the entry vestibule, the first area you reach when you enter; the ark refers to a sacred chest or, in some contexts, sacred containers—not a space in the building; daven is a Hebrew verb meaning to pray, not a architectural term for a church interior.
