What are the primary responsibilities of the House of Commons?

Declaring war
Passing laws, approving and monitoring expenditures, and keeping the government accountable
Selecting the Prime Minister
Directly electing Cabinet ministers

The correct answer is: Passing laws, approving and monitoring expenditures, and keeping the government accountable

The primary responsibilities of the House of Commons include passing laws, approving and monitoring expenditures, and keeping the government accountable. Option A is incorrect because the power to declare war belongs to the executive branch of government, specifically the Prime Minister and their Cabinet. Option C is incorrect because the House of Commons does not select the Prime Minister, they are chosen through the political process and must retain the confidence of the House. Option D is incorrect because Cabinet ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister, not directly elected by the House of Commons. Therefore, option B is the most comprehensive answer that accurately reflects the primary responsibilities of the House of Commons.
