I am very perplexed by one CCNA question, this is a simulation. The simulation allows you to console into one switch and asks what bridge is the root bridge, how do you tell?

show spanning-tree should provide that info.

boy, spanning tree is too fundu for ccna. Even understanding VTP is a tough time at ccna level, bcoz many people who appear for ccna are not experienced or have hands-on over devices. But they are taking a chance, hoping to get a profile where they get to work on these devices.
however, heres the command:
show spanning-tree
The output shows Root bridge MAC & priority, as well as self MAC & priority. If both are same, then that switch itself is the root bridge. otherwise "sh arp" can give u a corresponding Ip add of root switch against rootbridge mac add.

Thank you I hope that they remove this simulation from the 640-802 test.
