There are 3 different Draft Resolutions on the floor. After the Closed Debate for the first Draft Resolution has finished, a Delegate proposes a Motion to Reorder Draft Resolutions and switch the order of the last two Draft Resolutions. Is this allowed?
No.

2. Motion for a 2-minute Unmoderated Caucus
3. Motion to Introduce Draft Resolution
4. Motion to Suspend Debate
What is 4, 2, 3?

What is 16?
The response to a delegate raising a Point of Parliamentary Inquiry in the middle of speech.
What is Ignoring the Delegate?
The Delegate of Australia has attempted to yield to The Delegate of Bangladesh and has failed. They then request to yield to Points of Information, but there are none on the floor. They then ask if they may continue speaking, is this allowed?

3. Motion to Divide the Question by Article
4. Motion for Roll-Call Vote

In a Draft Resolution originally consisting of 19 clauses, 5 clauses have been significantly edited and 9 new clauses have been added. What should happen to the resolution?
It should not be tabled.
(This is because addition of clauses will add to the total count, which means only 14/28 clauses have been amended, which is not a simple majority.)
1. Motion to Introduce Draft Resolution
2. Motion to Table Draft Resolution
3. Motion to Suspend Debate
4. Motion to Move into DVP
5. Motion for 10-Minute Unmoderated Caucus
3, 5, 1, 2, 4
