Controlling the Cabinet agenda by the Prime Minister shows which leadership capacity?

Correct answer: Directing government priorities

Correct answer: A. A Cabinet agenda is the list of matters that ministers discuss and on which the government may take decisions. When the Prime Minister helps decide which important issues come before the Cabinet, the Prime Minister gives direction to the government's priorities. This is an important coordinating and policy-leadership function. A is correct because agenda-setting influences which problems receive attention and in what order. B is wrong because the Prime Minister cannot abolish the independent judiciary, which is a constitutional institution. C is wrong because the President is elected through a constitutionally prescribed electoral process, not simply by the Prime Minister. D is wrong because the duration and dissolution of the Lok Sabha are governed by constitutional rules, not made permanent by the Prime Minister. Memory cue: controlling the agenda means guiding attention, priorities and policy—not controlling every institution.
