Explanation:

• Question 9: A ballot is a private voting method often used in elections. Voice Vote, Show of Hands, and Roll Call are more public.
• Question 10: A majority vote means more than half. Exactly half is a tie, at least two - thirds is a super - majority, and all must agree is unanimity.
• Question 11: The Previous Question motion is used to end debate immediately. Point of Order is about parliamentary procedure, Lay on the Table sets aside a matter, and Refer to Committee sends a matter to a committee.
• Question 12: Refer to Committee sends a topic to a small group for research. Amend changes a motion, Postpone delays a motion, and Limit Debate restricts discussion time.
• Question 13: Minutes are the official record of a meeting. Agenda is the list of topics, Quorum is the minimum number of members, and Debate is the discussion.
• Question 14: Quorum is the minimum number of members required to conduct business. Agenda is the list of topics, Motion is a proposal, and Vote is the act of voting.
• Question 15/16: The Chair/President leads the meeting and keeps order. The Secretary records minutes, the Treasurer handles finances, and a Member is a general participant.
• Question 17: Call to Order is usually the first step in the order of business. Announcements and Reports come after the meeting is called to order.
