The main duty of the Speaker Protem of Lok Sabha is : A. To unite the Cabinet B. To administer oath to the new members C. To end the session D. To break the deadlock

The correct answer is: B. To administer oath to the new members.

The Speaker Protem is a temporary Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India. The Speaker

Protem is appointed by the President of India and holds office until the election of a new Speaker. The main duty of the Speaker Protem is to administer oath to the new members of the Lok Sabha. The Speaker Protem also presides over the first few sessions of the Lok Sabha until a new Speaker is elected.

The other options are

incorrect because:

• Option A is incorrect because the Cabinet is a body of ministers appointed by the Prime Minister of India. The Speaker Protem does not have any role in uniting the Cabinet.
• Option C is incorrect because the Speaker Protem does not have the power to end the session of the Lok Sabha. This power is vested in the President of India.
• Option D is incorrect because the Speaker Protem does not have the power to break a deadlock in the Lok Sabha. This power is vested in the President of India.
