**In Spanish, as in the exam:** ¿Quién aprueba los presupuestos generales del Estado?

- b) El Tribunal de Cuentas. (The Tribunal de Cuentas (Court of Audit).)
- c) El Gobierno de España. (The Government of Spain.)

**Right answer:** a) Las Cortes Generales.

## Why

The Cortes Generales approve the general State budget. The Government prepares and presents it, but does not approve it. The Tribunal de Cuentas later reviews how public money is spent.
