On a speaker's platform the Ensign is displayed flat, where should it be placed?

• A. To the speaker's left.
• B. To the speaker's right.
• C. In front of the podium.
• D. On the floor behind.

Answer: (C)

The Ensign should be placed in front of the podium. Displaying it there keeps the flag clearly visible to the audience, maintains dignified ceremonial respect, and avoids interfering with the speaker or microphones. Placing the flag to the left or right can make it less visible or clutter the platform, and putting it on the floor behind is not appropriate for a national flag display. Front and center ensures the flag is the focal point of the stage and presented with proper decorum.
