How many total members are there in the United States Senate?

  1. 50.

  2. 100.

  3. 435.

  4. 538.

The correct answer is: 100.

The United States Senate is made up of two senators from each state, totaling to 100 members. Option A is incorrect because that is the number of states in the United States, not the number of senators in the Senate. Option C is incorrect because that is the number of members in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. Option D is incorrect because that is the number of total members in both the House of Representatives and the Senate combined. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
