What does the President give to a bill passed by Parliament?

Correct answer: Assent

Answer: A. A bill is a proposed law. After the required parliamentary process, a bill passed by Parliament is presented to the President. The President gives assent according to the constitutional procedure; after assent and the necessary legal steps, it becomes an Act or law. A is correct because assent means formal approval. B is wrong because an electoral roll is the list of eligible voters used in elections. C is wrong because an election campaign is an activity through which candidates or parties present their views before voting. D is wrong because judicial punishment is imposed through a court process after deciding a case, not by approving a bill. The key sequence is: bill is discussed and passed by Parliament, it goes to the President, and presidential assent is an important step toward becoming law. The word ‘assent’ should not be confused with ‘consent’ in ordinary conversation; here it means formal constitutional approval.
