Final answer:
The accurate comparison between the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives is found in statement D, referencing the Senate's allowance of filibusters and the role of the president pro tempore in breaking ties.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer to the comparison between the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives is D. The House of Representatives does not have the power of advise and consent, which is exclusive to the Senate (“A.” inaccuarte). The power of the purse indeed starts in the House (“B.” accurate for House), but the Senate can offer amendments and must approve the bills. The Senate does not have the power to elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie; this is a power of the House (“C.” inaccurate for Senate). Finally, the allowance of filibusters and the presence of a president pro tempore to break voting ties are features of the Senate (“D.” accurate).
