To permit or cause a report to be presented; to hear a report is to:

• A. Question
• B. Recess
• C. Receive a report
• D. Quorum

Answer: (C)

The action being tested is the act of bringing a committee’s report before the assembly and allowing it to be heard. In parliamentary procedure, to receive a report means to permit the report to be presented and discussed, and to place it on the official record. It does not imply agreeing with or adopting the report’s recommendations; that comes later with separate motions. This is why “receive a report” fits perfectly: it captures both the permission to present and the act of hearing the report.

The other terms describe different things: a question is a request for information from the chair, a recess is a temporary break in proceedings, and quorum refers to the minimum number of members needed to conduct business.
