Answer 1

Answer:

The minority party in the House also elected leaders, the house minority leader and the minority whip, whose jobs mirror those of their majority-party colleagues but without the power that comes from holding a majority in the House.

Explanation:

The minority leader functions as the head of the opposition and is the minority equivalent to the Speaker. Even though minority and majority leaders share various primary responsibilities in the administration, minority leader represents a minority party and its standards and serves as a protector for its rights.
