The answer is: B. United Nations.
Answer:
In the first past the post system, as the name implies, the party or candidate winning the a plurality of votes obtains all the political seats being contested.
For example, suppose we have three parties, and 20 seats being contested in a fictional election. The results are:
Red party - 60%
Green party - 30%
Blue party - 10%
Under a first past the post system, the Red Party would obtain all the 20 seats.
Under a proportional system, on the other hand, each party or candidate gets a proportional amount of seats corresponding to the percentage of the votes.
For example, if the number of seats contested is 20, and we obtain the same results as above, the number of seats for each party (in bold) would be:
Red party - 60% - 12 seats
Green party - 30% - 6 seats
Blue party - 10% - 2 seats
At a FEDERAL MEETING, a government representative gives a presentation on an issue and the public is given time to share their thoughts and opinions. So, the correct answer is B.
Answer:
Sharks swallowed and ate the bodies of African slaves that were thrown into the sea.
Explanation:
The middle passage is a stage in the triangular trade where Slaves from the African coasts were carried across the Atlantic ocean to South and North America. In the course of crossing this ocean, some slaves became so weak that they could no longer continue the journey. Some others died from the stress and starvation they experienced in the course of the journey. This set of people were usually thrown into the ocean by their captors and their bodies were readily swallowed by the sharks.
It is believed that some of these sharks followed the ships closely so as to readily grab the opportunity of swallowing the slaves when they were thrown aboard.
