What is the role of both Houses in passing an ordinary Bill?

Correct answer: Approval of both Houses is needed

Direct answer: A. An ordinary Bill normally has to be passed by both Houses of Parliament in the same form before it can be presented to the President for assent. The Bill may be introduced in either House, debated, examined and voted upon. If the Houses disagree, the Constitution provides for a possible joint sitting in certain situations. B is wrong because the President gives assent but does not replace parliamentary voting. C is wrong because the Speaker manages proceedings in the Lok Sabha but cannot alone pass an ordinary Bill for Parliament. D is wrong because the Governor belongs to a state and does not pass an ordinary Bill of the Union Parliament. Memory cue: ordinary legislation generally needs agreement of both Houses, unlike the special procedure for a Money Bill.
