• A. Lok Sabha is a deliberative body.
• B. Rajya Sabha is called the House of Elders.
• C. Two houses ensures quicker passing of laws.
• D. Lok Sabha is the House of the People.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Rajya Sabha is called the House of Elders.
D Lok Sabha is the House of the People.

Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha together constitute the two houses of the Union Parliament of India. The Rajya Sabha is a deliberative body. It is often called the ‘House of Elders’. Having two houses ensures that legislation is not passed too quickly. It ensures that parliament has enough time to carefully go through all the details of a law before it is passed.
