Explanation:

For part A, we use knowledge of US - legislative branch structure. Senators represent entire states and there are 100 of them. House members serve two - year terms, bills about taxes start in the House, and members must be 25. Both houses represent citizens and pass bills to the president. For part B, without the Senate bill, we assume common - sense areas of agreement could be funding treatment and provider training as they are key aspects of addressing addiction.
