This best suits because the senate has to do with the legislative arm and they are saddled with responsibility of law making.

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.

In political terminology, an "arm" is often used to refer to a branch or division within a legislative body. The National Assembly is a larger legislative body, and the Senate is a component or division within it.

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. The House of Representatives is another part of the National Assembly, making it the correct answer. The Judiciary and the Executive Council are separate branches of government and do not fit the context of the sentence.

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.

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.

In the context of the passage, the Senate does not have the authority or 'power' to control the President in the exercise of his powers. The term 'power' refers to the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way. The other options 'might', 'dynamism', and 'strength' do not fit into the context of the sentence.

In the context of the passage, the President is exercising his 'executive' powers. The term 'executive' refers to the branch of government responsible for implementing, administering, and enforcing laws. The other options 'official', 'authoritative', and 'judicial' do not fit into the context of the sentence.

In the context of the passage, the exercise of the powers of the President can be 'regulated'. This means that the actions of the President can be controlled or governed according to a system or set of rules, which is the role of the National Assembly. The other options do not fit into the context of the passage.

In the context of the passage, the exercise of the powers of the President can be regulated by 'an Act' of the National Assembly. An Act is a law that has been officially put into effect, which fits into the context of the passage. The other options do not fit into the context of the passage.

Impertinent means ' not showing proper respect'. It's antonyms include polite, courteous, respectful, deferential, well bred, well mannered and civil.
