What are the two houses of the Maryland General Assembly?

• A. Senate and House of Representatives.
• B. House of Delegates and Senate.
• C. Senate and House of Delegates.
• D. Council and Assembly.

Answer: (C)

Maryland's General Assembly is bicameral, made up of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Delegates. The Senate is the upper chamber and the House of Delegates is the lower chamber, and this is the official naming used for Maryland’s two houses. The option that uses Senate paired with House of Delegates matches the correct official pair of Maryland’s two chambers. The other choices use terms not used for Maryland’s legislature (such as House of Representatives or Council and Assembly), or swap the order of the two names but still refer to the same two bodies.
