Question

1. the meeting where republicans and democrats choose the leaders of their parties in each house of congress is called the ____

○ committee
○ caucus
○ convention
○ whip

Explanation:

In the context of U.S. Congress, a caucus (for parties in each house) is the meeting where Republicans and Democrats choose their party leaders. A committee is for legislative work, a convention is a broader party gathering (not for congressional leadership selection), and a whip is a party member with a different role (not a meeting). So the correct answer is the "caucus" option.

Answer:

B. caucus
