Who advises the Governor General to appoint Senators?

The Sovereign
The House of Commons
The Prime Minister
The Senate

The correct answer is: The Prime Minister

The Prime Minister advises the Governor General to appoint Senators. This is because the Prime Minister is the leader of the government and is responsible for making important appointments, including those to the Senate. Additionally, the Sovereign (the Monarch or Queen) typically acts on the advice of the Prime Minister, so the final decision to appoint Senators ultimately lies with the Prime Minister. The House of Commons and the Senate may have some input in the selection process, but they do not directly advise the Governor General on appointments.
