In the 1930s, senator long read recipes from a cookbook for 15 hours during a senate debate. his action is an example of a) a cloture b) a filibuster c) apportionment d) legislation.

In that scenario, his action is an example of : Filibuster

Filibuster is defined as an obstructive/unprofessional action in the legislature. Rather than focus on the senate debate and do his jobs, He chose to do something that has nothing to do with the debate and abandoning his duties as a senator

hope this helps
