Which motion delays consideration to a specific future time and cannot extend beyond the next session for groups meeting quarterly or more often?

Which motion delays consideration to a specific future time and cannot extend beyond the next session for groups meeting quarterly or more often?

• A. Postpone Definitely
• B. Postpone to a Certain Time
• C. Postpone Indefinitely
• D. Recess

Answer: (B)

Delaying a pending motion to a definite future date is about setting when action will be reconsidered, rather than deciding now or breaking for a short pause. The motion that does this is to postpone to a certain time: it fixes a specific future date for reconsideration. This choice fits the scenario because it explicitly ties the delay to a specific future time and, for groups that meet quarterly or more often, the date cannot extend beyond the next scheduled session. That keeps the action within the upcoming meeting cycle, which is the constraint described in the question. Recess is simply a temporary break in the meeting and does not fix a future date to reconsider the motion. Postpone indefinitely pushes the decision out without a set date and effectively kills the motion for the current session, not a definite future time. Postpone to a definite time is similar in purpose to postponing to a certain time, but the specific constraint about not exceeding the next session is what makes postponing to a certain time the correct fit for this scenario.
