Solution
P and S
Explanation:
Statements P (passing a No-Confidence Motion) and S (passing an amendment against the government’s wishes) are actual constitutional methods used by Parliament to control the Executive. In contrast, Statements Q and R are factually incorrect because there are no rules requiring ministers to be replaced every six months or the Prime Minister every three years.
