question 1 (5 points)
listen
the _______ in the house can limit the amount of time to debate a bill.
a) discharge petition
b) speaker
c) rules committee
d) committee of the whole

Explanation:

The rules committee in the U.S. House of Representatives has the power to set the rules for debate on a bill, including limiting the amount of time for debate. A discharge petition is used to force a bill out of committee, the speaker has many powers but not specifically the sole power to limit debate time in this context, and the committee of the whole is a way of considering a bill but not the entity that limits debate time.

Answer:

C. rules committee
