__________ is a motion moved by a member to cut short the debate on a matter before the House.

Closure

The correct answer is Option 1 - Closure

A motion moved by a member to cut short the debate on a matter before the House is known as a "Closure Motion." This motion is aimed at bringing the current debate to an end and proceeding to a vote on the matter under discussion. It is typically used when it is believed that sufficient debate has taken place or when there is a need to expedite proceedings. If the Closure Motion is accepted by the presiding officer and approved by the majority of the members present, the debate is concluded, and the House proceeds to vote on the issue.
