Answer 1

B) The House determines the rules for debate by committee, while the Senate allows unlimited debate.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Article One, Section 5 of the United States Constitution; "Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings...."

The house, through the house rule committee, determines the rules and proceedings for a debate.

The senate allows unlimited debate stating that a senator should be able to speak on an issue for as long as he or she wants. This is called "filibuster" and it is a tactic sometimes used by senators to consume time and delay or block a proposed legislation from going forward.
