Answer:

The author shares information about Cyntoia's life before the murder to help readers understand the circumstances that might have influenced her rash decision

A research into her life shows women in her family in her family had a history of abuse as her grandmother said she was a victim of violent abuse of which she got pregnant and gave birth to Cyntoia's mother who in turn is a single parent and didn't supervise Cyntoia as she grew which led her down the paths of drugs, prostitution and finally murder.

Which of the following is an example of using a specific, vivid verb?
daser333 [38]

Answer: Choice #2 (<em>He peered at me from the other side of the room.)</em>

Explanation:

The four verbs are <em>looked</em>, <em>peered</em>, <em>sat</em>, and <em>was </em>for sentences 1-4 respectively.

Out of those four verbs, <em>sat </em>and <em>was </em>are extremely basic, common, and uninteresting verbs.

<em>Peered </em>is a more powerful synonym to <em>looked, </em>thus making it the vivid verb.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

What exactly is the electoral college
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

An electoral college is a set of electors who are selected to elect a candidate to particular offices. They often choose a person for a particular office, such as president or prime minister. In the US, the electoral college has 538 electors. The larger the population in a state, the more electoral votes the state has.  Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president.

To win a state's electoral votes, you need a majority of votes in the state.

Example: State of California (55 electoral votes)

George Ige: 12,936,846

Bill Meag: 7,372,290

As you can see here, George Ige won the popular vote in the state, so he gets all 55 electoral votes.
