What are the three processes of an amendment?

• A. Add in order; Delete; Replace
• B. Change; Subtract; Reinsert
• C. Append; Remove; Refine
• D. Insert or add; Strike Out; Strike out and insert

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that amendments modify a motion by changing its wording in three precise ways: you can add new language, you can delete existing language, or you can replace language by striking out some words and inserting new ones. The standard forms reflect those exact actions: insert or add, strike out, and strike out and insert. This covers all practical ways to alter a motion without changing its overall purpose.

For example, if the motion says the group will meet on Monday, you could insert a new sentence to add a start time; you could strike out the word “Monday” to change the day; or you could strike out a portion and insert a different day and time. The other phrasing in the options doesn’t map to the formal three forms as cleanly, so they don’t capture the full, standard set of amendment techniques.
