Who is the Speaker of the House according to the material?

• A. Mike Johnson
• B. Nancy Pelosi
• C. Chuck Schumer
• D. Kevin McCarthy

Answer: (A)

The Speaker of the House is the presiding officer elected by the members of the House, typically the leader of the party that holds the majority. In the material, the person holding that role is Mike Johnson, which is why he is the correct answer. Nancy Pelosi has served as Speaker in the past, Chuck Schumer is the Senate’s top leader (not a House member), and Kevin McCarthy was Speaker earlier but not at the time described. The key idea is that the Speaker is the House’s chosen leader for the period covered by the material, and Mike Johnson is the name given in that context.
