Which category of the agenda includes motions that postponement has placed on the order of the day but are not special orders?

• A. General orders
• B. Special orders
• C. Adjourned items
• D. New business

Answer: (A)

General orders are items that have been postponed to the order of the day to be considered at a future time, and they are not designated as special orders. When a motion is postponed, placing it on the order of the day makes it a general order, meaning it will be taken up at the next available time as scheduled, rather than set for an immediate, fixed time like a special order. Special orders are items designated for a specific time and take precedence over general business. Adjourned items are those carried over from the previous meeting, and new business covers items introduced for the first time. So the motion that postponement puts on the order of the day, but not as a special order, belongs in general orders.
