Question 5 • Literacy and Comprehension B (WHS)

What does bicameral mean?

Answer
A
having the power to hear court appeals and to review court decisions
B
the power or right to prohibit or reject a proposed or intended act
C
postponement or cancellation of a punishment
D
having two branches, chambers, or houses, as a legislative body

Explanation

Bicameral means “having two chambers” or houses. A bicameral legislature has two separate branches or houses, so choice D is correct. The other definitions describe judicial review, a veto, and a reprieve—not bicameralism.
