Exam answer
The President appoints the Council of Ministers on the advice of the PRIME MINISTER.
Explanation
One precise sentence. Both halves matter — the President APPOINTS, but only on the Prime Minister’s ADVICE, which is why the Prime Minister is said to make the Cabinet. Keep the two appointments distinct: the President appoints the PRIME MINISTER himself (by convention the leader of the majority party), and then every other minister on his advice.
