The motion to Recess takes precedence over which privileged motion?

• A. Point of Order
• B. Question of Privilege
• C. Division of the Assembly
• D. Parliamentary Inquiry

Answer: (B)

In parliamentary procedure, certain motions have priority over others—these are the privileged motions. The motion to Recess is one of them, meant to pause business for a short break. Within the standard order of precedence, Adjourn comes first, then Recess, and then Question of Privilege. That means the Recess motion is considered before any Question of Privilege.

So, the Recess motion takes precedence over the Question of Privilege. The other options aren’t in the same privileged-motions sequence: a Point of Order isn’t treated as a motion in this hierarchy and Division of the Assembly or a Parliamentary Inquiry are different types of motions with different rules, not the specific precedence relationship in question.
