{'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'floor': [1, 1, 1, 5], 'house': [15, 3, 9, 18], 'interpellation': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'decorum': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'phenomenon': [3, 4, 7, 15]}
the options provided, the correct answer for the phenomenon described, where a Speaker asks a member of the House to stop speaking and let another member speak, is indeed "yielding the floor."
When a Speaker asks a member to yield the floor, it means they are requesting that member to conclude their speech and allow another member to speak. This is a common practice in parliamentary proceedings to ensure fair and balanced participation among members.
