The members of parliaments tabled an … to the constitution.

Analyze the question

The sentence is: "The members of parliament tabled an __ to the constitution." We need a word that fits the idea of proposing a change to a constitution, since "tabled" means formally presenting a proposal for discussion.

Explain the concept

In law and politics, there is a specific word for a formal change or addition to a constitution, bill, or law. That word is amendment. This is a collocation you should memorize: we "amend" a constitution, and the change is an "amendment" (as in the "Constitution Amendment Bill").

Examine each option

• A. adjustment: A small change to make something fit or work better (e.g., adjustment of a schedule). It is not used for formal changes to a constitution.
• B. amendment: A formal change or addition to a law or document. It fits perfectly, because lawmakers table amendments to a constitution.
• C. enactment: The process of making a bill into law, or the law itself. You do not table an enactment to a constitution.
• D. annulment: The act of declaring something invalid or void (e.g., annulment of a marriage or an election). It does not fit "tabled an ... to the constitution."

Answer

The correct word is amendment, which is option B.

Tip

Remember the pairing: constitution → amendment. The prefix "a-" in "amend" suggests "to make better or correct," which is what lawmakers aim to do. Also watch for "tabled," which signals a proposal, not a completed act like an enactment.
