Explanation:

Question 1

The legislative branch of the US government is Congress (House of Representatives + Senate). The president/vice president are executive, courts are judicial. So option a is correct.

US Senators are elected for 6 - year terms. Representatives serve 2 years, president 4 years. So option c is correct.

Article IV of the US Constitution gives Congress the power to admit new states (create states in a sense). Appointing senators is not done by Congress (now elected), negotiating treaties is executive (president). So option b is correct.

Answer:

a. The Congress
