Which form would be used to add a clause at the end?

• A. Amend by inserting
• B. Amend by adding
• C. Amend by substituting
• D. Amend by striking out

Answer: (B)

When modifying a main motion, you choose the form of amendment based on where you want the new material to appear. To place a new clause at the end, you use amending by adding. This form adds the words after the existing ending of the motion, extending it rather than changing its middle or replacing it. For example, if the motion is to donate $100 to a charity, and you want to add a clause specifying timing, you would amend by adding a clause at the end, such as “to be used this year.” The result reads as the original motion plus the added words at the end, preserving the initial structure while extending it. In contrast, amending by inserting would put the new language at a specific point inside the motion (not necessarily at the end), amending by substituting would replace the whole motion with new wording, and amending by striking out would remove some portion of the motion.
