In the fall, Adam and Eve ate from ____.

• A. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
• B. The Tree of Life
• C. The Tree of Knowledge
• D. The Tree of Wisdom

Answer: (A)

In the fall, Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil after God had told them not to. Eating from this specific tree marked their disobedience and brought sin into the world, along with the awareness of good and evil and the first sense of shame. The Tree of Life is a different tree in the garden and relates to immortality, which isn’t what happened when they sinned. There isn’t a Tree of Wisdom in this biblical account, and simply saying the Tree of Knowledge is imprecise—the full name matters here. So the exact tree described is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
