Explanation:

1. For "Majority and minority whips keep track of bills and ensure party members vote": The table shows whips help develop agendas/strategies and check bill progress/voting, so this is correct.
2. For "Majority and minority leaders assign members of their parties to committees": The table lists "makes committee assignments" for both majority and minority leaders, so this is correct.
3. For "The Speaker of the House is second in the line of presidential succession": This is a factual rule (after Vice President, Speaker is next), so it's correct.
4. For "The majority leader is the highest - ranking member of the majority party": The table says majority leader "assists the Speaker as the second - ranking member of the majority party", so this is incorrect. So the three correct statements are the first, second, and third.

• Majority and minority whips keep track of bills and ensure party members vote.
• Majority and minority leaders assign members of their parties to committees.
• The Speaker of the House is second in the line of presidential succession.
