Explanation:

1. Match options to the provided constitutional text:

• Article I, Section 7 states revenue-raising bills start in the House; this matches drafting laws for collecting federal funds (taxes are revenue).
• The 12th Amendment states the House chooses the president if no Electoral College majority is won.
• Negotiating treaties is a presidential power, and nominating Supreme Court justices is a presidential power (Senate confirms), so these are not House-only powers.

Answer:

• choosing the president if no candidate wins a majority of votes in the Electoral College
• drafting laws related to collecting income taxes or other federal funds
