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 total number of members in the United States Senate is 100, with two Senators representing each of the 50 states. Option A is incorrect because 50 is the number of states in the United States, not the number of Senators. Option C is incorrect because 435 is the number of members in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. Option D is incorrect because 538 is the total number of members in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
