Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The context of the passage suggests that the Senate is trying to 'nullify' the executive action of the President. 'Nullify' means to make legally null and void; invalidate. The Senate, being a legislative body, does not have the power to enforce, modify, or order the executive action of the President.

Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In the context of the passage, the author is discussing the potential confusion that could arise if another part of the National Assembly were to disagree with the Senate.

A
plaintiff
B
attorney
C
defendant
D
litigant
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In the context of the passage, the Senate is being criticized for overstepping its bounds and acting as both the 'litigant' and the judge of the constitutionality of the President's actions. A 'litigant' is a party involved in a lawsuit, which fits the context better than the other options. 'Defendant' and 'plaintiff' are specific types of litigants, but the passage does not specify which role the Senate is taking on. 'Attorney' does not fit because the Senate is not representing someone in a legal matter, but rather taking on the role of a party in a lawsuit.

A
compose
B
enact
C
annul
D
create
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In the context of the passage, the function of the Senate is to 'enact' laws. To 'enact' a law means to make it official or put it into action, which is the role of legislative bodies like the Senate. 'Create' could also work, but 'enact' is more specific to the process of passing laws. 'Compose' is more commonly used in the context of writing or creating something like a piece of music or literature, not laws. 'Annul' means to declare invalid, which is not a function of the Senate mentioned in the passage.
