Let’s go step by step to match each numbered item (1–14) with the correct lettered power or duty from the list on the right.

We are matching responsibilities of the President and Vice President based on U.S. government roles.

---

First, let’s understand what each side says:

Left side (numbered 1–14): These are actions or duties — some belong to the President, some to the Vice President.

Right side (lettered A–O): These are powers/duties listed under “Powers & Duties Listed” — we need to pick which one matches each number.

Note: The top section is labeled “Work” and has a heading “In each responsibility of the fifth and sixth power or duty”. That seems like a typo — probably meant “each responsibility of the President and Vice President”.

Also note: Items 1–9 seem to be President’s duties; items 10–14 say “Vice President’s Responsibilities”.

Let’s go one by one.

---

Item 1: Lead weekly meetings where all the leaders of executive branch departments report to him/her
→ This is the Cabinet meeting. The President leads the Cabinet.
Look at options:
C. Call in Congress to meet in special session → no
D. Enforce laws → too broad
E. Appoint ambassadors → no
F. Is president of the Senate → that’s VP
G. Pardon someone for a crime → no
H. Make treaties → no
I. Take office as president if... → no
J. Give State of Union address → close, but not this
K. Choose members of cabinet → YES! Because leading weekly meetings with department heads = managing the Cabinet he appointed.
Wait — actually, “Call in Congress to meet in special session” is C — that’s different.

Actually, leading weekly meetings with department heads = presiding over the Cabinet → which comes from appointing them? Not exactly. But looking again — maybe it's J? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s J: Give the annual State of the Union address to Congress — no, that’s once a year.

Actually, none directly say “lead cabinet meetings”, but K says “Choose members of cabinet” — and since the President chooses them, he also leads their meetings. So likely K.

But let’s check standard civics knowledge.

Standard presidential duties include:
- Commander in Chief
- Grant pardons
- Make treaties (with Senate approval)
- Appoint ambassadors, judges, cabinet members
- Deliver State of the Union
- Veto bills
- Enforce laws
- Call Congress into special session

So Item 1: Leading weekly meetings with exec branch leaders → that’s the Cabinet → so related to K: Choose members of cabinet — because you lead the people you chose.

Alternatively, maybe it’s not perfectly matched, but among choices, K is closest.

Wait — let’s look ahead.

Actually, I think there might be a better fit later. Let’s hold off and do others first.

Item 2: Decide whether or not to sign a bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress
→ That’s the veto power.
Which option?
B. Must protect and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States → vague
A. Power to carry out and enforce laws → includes enforcing, but signing/vetoing is part of lawmaking process.

Actually, vetoing is part of checking legislation — but none say “veto” explicitly.

Wait — look at O: Can vote in the Senate if the senators are equally divided on a vote → that’s VP.

Perhaps B? Or A?

Actually, signing or vetoing a bill is part of executing/enforcing laws? Not really — it’s legislative check.

Wait — maybe it’s implied in A: “Power to carry out and enforce laws” — but passing a bill isn’t carrying out yet.

This is tricky.

Standard answer: The President signs or vetoes bills — that’s a key power. Which letter matches?

Looking again: None say “sign or veto bills” directly.

But wait — perhaps it’s A? Because after signing, they enforce it.

No — let’s think differently.

Maybe we should match known ones first.

---

Item 3: Decide whether to approve or reject a bill that was sent to him/her by Congress
→ Same as #2 — veto power.

Same issue.

Wait — perhaps these two are duplicates? Unlikely.

Actually, #2 says “decide whether or not to sign”, #3 says “approve or reject” — same thing.

Probably a mistake in worksheet? Or maybe #2 is about signing, #3 is about vetoing — still same action.

Let’s skip and come back.

---

Item 4: Follow the Constitution and the law even if he/she disagrees with it
→ This is oath of office / duty to uphold Constitution.
Option B: “Must protect and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States” → YES!
