Which motion would you use to have a proposal removed from consideration entirely?

• A. dispose of
• B. Division of the Question
• C. discuss
• D. entertain a motion

Answer: (A)

To end consideration of a proposal entirely, you use the motion to dispose of the question. This is the formal way to drop the matter and have no further debate or votes on it; the proposal is effectively killed for the moment and would need to be reintroduced as a new main motion if anyone wants to pursue it again. Division of the Question would only split the proposal into separate parts for individual votes, not remove it from consideration. Discuss would initiate debate and keep the matter alive. Entertain a motion simply means to entertain additional motions, not to end or dispose of the current matter.
