Which of the following is a type of motion?

• A. Privileged
• B. Agenda
• C. Recess
• D. Question

Answer: (A)

In parliamentary procedure, motions are grouped into categories. One category is privileged motions, which take precedence and deal with urgent matters affecting the assembly’s ability to conduct business. Identifying something as a privileged motion signals it’s a broad type of motion, not a single action. The other options describe things that aren’t categories of motions: an agenda is a plan for the meeting, not a motion; recess is a specific motion to pause proceedings (not a category by itself); and a question is not a motion type on its own. So the idea being tested is recognizing the category of motion, and privileged is the best fit.
