A majority of all the members of the entity that is meeting is called what?

• A. Majority of the Members
• B. Majority of the Entire Membership
• C. Plurality
• D. Quorum

Answer: (B)

A majority of the entire membership means more than half of every member, regardless of who is present. This phrasing specifies a voting threshold that applies to the whole organization, not just those who happened to attend. That’s why it matches the prompt’s idea of “a majority of all the members.” The other terms refer to different concepts: quorums set the minimum number needed to conduct business, not a vote count; a plurality is the largest number of votes but not necessarily a majority; and “majority of the members” can be ambiguous about whether it’s half of all members or just those present, so it’s less precise than “majority of the entire membership.”
