A. A rule for debate in the Senate
B. How a bill is passed to the Senate
C. How a bill is introduced to the Senate
D. A definition of a filibuster in the Senate

Answer 1

C. that's the process of introduction

it doesn't mention any debate or set rules regarding it, the bill isn't passed until it goes to a vote, and a filibuster is a really long speech to delay progress so the rest of the choices are ruled out

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C. "How a bill is introduced to the Senate". Among the different steps that a Bill must pass in order to become a law, the process of Introduction of a Bill includes the following: a bill clerk assigning a number to the bill, the bill being read twice on the House floor, and referring the bill to a committee for markup.
