Question

1. a bill has been debated and passed by the sponsors house. what happens next?

it is sent to the other house of congress.
it is filibustered.
it becomes law.
it is sent to the president.

Explanation:

In the U.S. legislative process, after a bill is passed by one house (e.g., House of Representatives or Senate), it must be sent to the other house of Congress for consideration. A filibuster is a tactic in the Senate (not the next step here), a bill doesn't become law just after one house passes it, and it's sent to the president only after both houses pass it. So the correct next step is sending it to the other house.

Answer:

A. It is sent to the other house of Congress.
