Why are both majority and opposition necessary in Parliament?

Correct answer: For running government and accountability

Correct answer: A — for running the government and ensuring accountability. In a parliamentary democracy, the majority party or coalition usually forms the government and uses its support in the House to pass laws and approve policies. However, power must be checked. The opposition questions ministers, examines government proposals, points out mistakes, raises public concerns and offers alternative views. This discussion helps prevent arbitrary decisions and makes the government explain its actions to elected representatives. Option A is correct because it includes both essential functions: the majority provides stability for governing, while the opposition provides scrutiny and accountability. Option B is wrong because sports events are not the constitutional purpose of Parliament. Option C is wrong because Parliament does not control the weather. Option D is wrong because running shops is a private business activity, not Parliament's role. Memory cue: majority governs; opposition questions and checks.
