Answer 1

In most cases, a majority of House members must be present for a bill to be considered. This majority is referred to as a quorum.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Quorum denotes the minimal number of house members who have to be appeared for the bill to be taken into account. The constitution of the U.S.A dictates the procedures and requirements for a quorum and for a bill to be considered.

According to it, there should be 51 senators in the senate for a bill to be considered, but there are chances where the quorum is very less. In that case, the senate will assume that a quorum already exists.
