An assembly of delegates usually chosen for one session is called a what?

• A. Convention
• B. Assembly
• C. Session
• D. Meeting

Answer: (A)

In parliamentary terms, a convention is a gathering of delegates chosen to represent a group and to conduct business during a defined period. That fits the description of an assembly of delegates usually chosen for one session, since a convention is a formal body formed for a specific time to carry out its business.

A meeting or an assembly is a more general term for any group gathering, and a session is just a span of time within which business is conducted, not the name of the body itself. So the term that best matches the idea of delegates assembled for a defined session is convention.
