Question 9 • DRHS Legal Environment of Business (06.41500) GA

How many members sit in Congress?

Answer
A
six hundred: 500 representatives in the House of Representatives (ten from each state) and 100 Senators (two from each state)
B
four hundred and thirty-five: all 435 representatives are members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate
C
five hundred and thirty-five: 435 representatives in the House of Representatives (the number varies from each state) and 100 Senators (two from each state)
D
none of the above

Explanation

Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House has 435 voting representatives, while the Senate has 100 senators, with two from each state. Adding them gives 435 + 100 = 535 members, so the correct choice is “five hundred and thirty-five.”
