_________________ are a bundle of items that are voted on, without discussion, as a package.

• A. Consent Agendas
• B. Executive Orders
• C. Amendments
• D. Motions

Answer: (A)

Consent agendas group a set of routine, non-controversial items on a meeting agenda to be approved in one vote without discussion. This approach helps meetings run more efficiently by handling administrative or clearly uncontroversial matters together, often with a single motion or voice vote. Members can usually request to pull any item off the consent agenda for individual discussion if something merits debate, but otherwise these items pass as a package.

Other options don’t fit because executive orders are formal directives issued by the executive branch that carry legal force, not a package of items for a single vote. Amendments are changes to a document or proposal, requiring consideration, not a bundled approval. Motions are individual proposals that require discussion and a vote on each item, not a bundled set approved en bloc.
