Kendall Terry · Answer 1

E). All of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

As per the question, all the given options exemplify the superiority of the Speaker of the House over the Senate majority leader as the latter is-in command to the former. The Senate speaker doesn't possess the authority to handle on committees and neither the leadership rights on dominant issues like debate.

Thus, the Speaker has more authority and limits on these debates, he/she holds the larger chamber in regard to membership. He/she acts as the chamber's presiding officer' and 'has less of a convention as chamber of equals' as the Speaker dominates the majority leader. Thus, option E is the correct answer.
