Explanation
★The correct statements are that the Senate can amend revenue bills and the House originates them, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★Under the Constitution all revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives.
★The Senate may then propose or agree to amendments to those bills.
★In Britain the executive and legislature are joined by a fusion of powers, not diffusion.
★The Prime Minister and cabinet sit within the legislature itself.
★The American President cannot dissolve the House of Representatives.
★So the third and fourth statements are incorrect.
