What are the three parts of parliament?

  1. The Sovereign, Senate, and House of Commons

  2. The Governor General, Prime Minister, and Cabinet ministers

  3. The elected Assembly, Senate, and House of Commons

  4. The Cabinet ministers, Senate, and elected Assembly

The correct answer is: The Sovereign, Senate, and House of Commons

Parliament is the legislative branch of the Canadian government. It is made up of three parts the Sovereign, the Senate, and the House of Commons. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the three branches of parliament. B states the Governor General, Prime Minister, and Cabinet ministers, but the Governor General is not a part of parliament. C states the elected Assembly, Senate, and House of Commons, but it is the Sovereign, not the elected Assembly, that has ultimate authority in Canada's parliamentary system. D states the Cabinet ministers, Senate, and elected Assembly, which is similar to option C. Therefore, A is the correct answer as it correctly identifies the three parts of parliament.
