Which is one of the levels of government in Parliament, consisting of elected representatives based on representation by population?

• A. Senate
• B. House of Commons
• C. Cabinet
• D. Governor General

Answer: (B)

This item is asking you to identify the part of Parliament that is filled by members who are elected from geographic areas and whose seats align with population size. The body that fits this description is the House of Commons. Members of Parliament are elected from electoral districts, and the number of seats is adjusted to reflect population differences so that representation mirrors how many people live in each area. This is where most laws are debated and where the party with the most seats often forms the government.

The other options don’t match this description. The Senate is an appointed body representing regions rather than population and serves as a review chamber. The Cabinet is a group of ministers responsible for running government departments and is part of the executive, not a separate legislative chamber. The Governor General is the monarch’s representative and has ceremonial duties, not a legislative role.
