What is the House of Commons?

  1. The chamber where laws are proposed

  2. The representative chamber elected by the people

  3. The advisory body to the Prime Minister

  4. The legislative body comprised of appointed members

The correct answer is: The representative chamber elected by the people

The House of Commons is the representative chamber elected by the people to make decisions, debate proposals, and pass laws. This is in contrast to the House of Lords, which is an advisory body to the Prime Minister and the legislative body comprised of appointed members. Option A may seem like a viable answer, but it does not accurately encompass the full scope of the House of Commons' role. Option C is incorrect as it describes the House of Lords. Option D may also seem plausible, but it does not accurately describe the composition of the House of Commons.
