B. The Outback.
The Outback is the correct word.
<u>Answer:
</u>
The headline is an example of the conflict caused by states administering elections while federal law protects voting rights.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- Different states have different requirements for the voters to be eligible for voting, but the federal laws unequivocally grant voting rights to everyone above eighteen years of age.
- The conduct and operations of elections are in the hands of the executive, but they do not have the right to modify the rules set for the conduct of elections by the United States Constitution.
- This disparity gives rise to conflict between the state machineries and federal laws.
Both C and D answers show uncorrect statements about the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Answer C states that the quake registered at 7.8 on the Richter scale, but that's not true. The earthquake occurred inland on January 12, 2010, approximately 15 km southwest of Port-au-Prince and at a depth of 10 km at 16:53 local time. It recorded 7.0 on the Richter scale.
Answer D affirms that the death toll was less than 1,000, but this is also incorrect. The effects caused on this country were devastating. The bodies recovered on January 25 exceeded 150,000, calculating that the death toll would exceed 200,000. The final data of those affected were released by Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive on the first anniversary of the earthquake, the January 12, 2011, stating that 316,000 people died in the earthquake, 350,000 more were injured, and more than 1.5 million people were left homeless.
