Q1. The Speaker can ask a member of the House to stop speaking and let another member speak. This phenomenon is known as:
A Decorum
B Crossing the floor
C Interpellation
D Yielding the floor Correct
Explanation
Yielding the floor means giving up one’s turn to speak so that another member may speak. The stem describes the Speaker asking a member to stop and allow another member to speak, so this is the matching parliamentary expression. Decorum refers to proper conduct and order in the House, not transfer of speaking time. Crossing the floor concerns changing sides or voting against one’s party line. Interpellation is a formal questioning procedure, not the act of giving the floor to another speaker.
