A vote in which everyone present and voting supports the prevailing side is called a:

• A. Unanimous vote
• B. Acclamation
• C. Plurality
• D. Consent

Answer: (A)

Unanimous vote is the idea here: every person who is present and votes is voting in the same way, supporting the prevailing side. That shows complete agreement among those participating and gives a clear, strong endorsement of the motion. It’s different from acclamation, which is approval by general consent or vocal approval without a formal count and isn’t necessarily about everyone present voting the same way. It also isn’t about plurality, where the most votes win but not necessarily a majority, or about consent, which is a motion passed by broad agreement without objection but not necessarily a counted vote. So the description fits a unanimous vote.
