After the delegates motion to set the agenda to topic A, the chair will have at least one speaker to speak in favor of topic A and one to speak against it.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the question states that "the chair will have at least one speaker to speak in favor of topic A and one to speak against it." However, this statement does not guarantee that there will be speakers for both sides. It is possible that there may be only one speaker in favor of topic A and no one to speak against it, or vice versa. Therefore, the statement is not necessarily true.Rate this question:

Setting the agenda for a topic requires...
-
A simple majority (50%+1)
-
2/3rd majority
-
Unanimous voting
-
More than 20 delegates to agree on the same topic
Correct Answer
A. A simple majority (50%+1)Explanation
Setting the agenda for a topic requires a simple majority (50%+1). This means that more than half of the participants or delegates need to agree on a particular topic in order for it to be included in the agenda. This ensures that the decision is made by a majority and allows for efficient decision-making without requiring unanimous voting or a higher threshold like a 2/3rd majority. Additionally, the requirement of more than 20 delegates to agree on the same topic is not mentioned in the question and therefore not relevant to setting the agenda.Rate this question:

Usually, the main purpose of the moderated caucus is to form blocs and alliances and to work towards drafting resolutions.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The main purpose of the moderated caucus is not to form blocs and alliances and work towards drafting resolutions. The moderated caucus is a structured debate format in which delegates discuss a specific topic in a more organized and controlled manner. It allows for focused discussions and the exchange of ideas among delegates, but the formation of blocs and alliances and the drafting of resolutions typically occur during unmoderated caucuses or formal sessions.Rate this question:

A written motion should always be supported by another delegate declaring "Second"
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
In parliamentary procedure, a written motion does not necessarily need to be supported by another delegate declaring "Second." The act of "Seconding" a motion is a common practice in some organizations, where it shows that at least two members are in favor of discussing the motion. However, it is not a universal requirement, and a written motion can still be valid and proceed without a second. Therefore, the answer is False.Rate this question:

In case several delegates motioned to set the speaker’s list, the chair will start voting on the most destructive motion,which means to start voting on...
-
The motion with the first topic
-
The motion with the longest topic to resolve; hence, it is the most destructive
-
The motion with the longest total time
-
The motion declared by the most powerful delegate/country.
Correct Answer
A. The motion with the longest total timeExplanation
The chair will start voting on the motion with the longest total time because it is considered the most destructive motion. This is because the longer a motion takes to resolve, the more time it will consume during the meeting, potentially delaying or hindering the progress of other important agenda items. By addressing the motion with the longest total time first, the chair ensures that the meeting can proceed more efficiently.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. “ Country X wishes to suspend the debate for a moderated caucus to discuss SubTopic A for a speaker’s time of 45 seconds and a total time of 3 mins”.Explanation
The correct answer is "Country X wishes to suspend the debate for a moderated caucus to discuss SubTopic A for a speaker’s time of 45 seconds and a total time of 3 mins". This is the correct motion because it specifies the type of caucus (moderated) and the topic of discussion (SubTopic A).

This motion clearly outlines the purpose and parameters of the caucus, making it the correct choice.Rate this question:

None of the above.
Correct Answer
A. None of the above.Explanation
After having left unused time in the speaker's time in a Moderated Caucus, the delegate does not have the option to yield to the chair, yield to another delegate, or yield to questions. Yielding to the chair means giving up the remaining speaking time to the chairperson. Yielding to another delegate means giving up the remaining speaking time to another delegate. Yielding to questions means allowing other delegates to ask questions during the remaining speaking time. Since none of these options are available, the correct answer is "None of the above."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Point of OrderExplanation
If a delegate mistakenly refers to you as "North Sudan" instead of "South Sudan" in their speech, your best option would be to raise a Point of Order. This is because a Point of Order is used to address a violation of the rules or procedures of the meeting. In this case, the delegate's mistake is a violation of proper protocol and accuracy in referring to countries. By raising a Point of Order, you can bring attention to the error and request that the mistake be corrected.Rate this question:
