What is the Cabinet?

  1. A group of advisers to the President of the United States.

  2. Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers responsible for national governance.

  3. The highest court in the judicial system.

  4. A legislative body that drafts laws.

The correct answer is: Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers responsible for national governance.

The Cabinet is not a group of advisers to the President of the United States, as stated in option A. While the Cabinet does advise the President, this group specifically refers to the President's top advisors and department heads. Option C is incorrect because the highest court in the judicial system is the Supreme Court, not the Cabinet. The Cabinet is part of the executive branch of government, not the judicial branch. Option D is also incorrect because the legislative body that drafts laws is the Congress, not the Cabinet. The Cabinet is responsible for implementing and enforcing laws, not creating them. Option B is the correct answer because it accurately describes the Cabinet as the group of ministers and officials responsible for national governance in countries with a parliamentary system, such as the United Kingdom.
