Question

all of the following are roles played by members of congress except a *
a) constituent.
b) delegate.
c) trustee.
d) politico.

because the senate operates on the principle of unlimited debate, when a senator uses this tactic to delay a motion or action it is called a *
a) hold.
b) cloture.
c) filibuster.
d) consent agreement.

Explanation:

For the first question: A constituent is the person a member of Congress represents, not a role the member plays. Delegate, trustee, and politico are all established roles describing how members of Congress act when making decisions.
For the second question: A filibuster is the tactic of using unlimited debate in the Senate to delay or block a vote on a motion or action. A hold is a procedural delay request, cloture ends a filibuster, and a consent agreement is a negotiated Senate procedure.

Answer:

1. A) constituent.
2. C) filibuster.
