    C Only B-Q Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B-R and C-P Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No exchange required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since we are talking about a bill, ‘amendment’ is correct at A. Hence, A-P can be exchanged. Also, instead of ‘defeated’, ‘totalling’ the value of goods is correct. So, C-R can be exchanged as well. I. In the House of Commons, an amendment to omit the fabric gloves and glove fabrics from the order which imposes 33 and third per cent duty on certain articles from Germany was defeated by 277 votes to 113. II. Replying to a question in the House, Sir Philip Lloyd Greame said that the value of manufactured goods imported into the United Kingdom during the six months ending June 30 totalled 112 million sterling.
