The correct answer is letter A

 

King Mithridates, was a Turk who was afraid of being murdered.  He watched his father (of the same name) die. In the middle of a banquet poisoned, suffocated and died in front of his guests. The killer was never discovered.

Mithridates was 15 years old at the time. The legend goes that the young man liked to spend months surviving isolated in the forests of the region and that it was in one of these retreats that his most famous invention appeared.

The prince, fearing being murdered like his father, made it a habit to drink a very small dose of poison every day. One drop in the first week, two drops in the second, three in the third - until it reaches almost lethal doses.

One of his enemies tries to poison him with the same liquid that killed his father. The new King Mithridates survives, his body accustomed to the substance, and has the criminal executed.

Write a detailed paragraph about lockdown in the us and trump’s response to it
zlopas [31]

Answer:

I'm sorry if this paragraph leans less in his favor, it's just who I am.

Explanation:

Donald J. Trump's reaction to the lockdown was to say it was fake, and continue to have rallies. "Stay calm, it will go away. You know it -- you know it is going away, and it will go away, and we're going to have a great victory." Mr. Trump says in march. His response to Biden trying to lockdown the country was negative. He recently got Coronavirus, so Mr. Trump is being a little more careful, and actually getting it opened his eyes to how bad the country is actually suffering.

If both the president and the Vice President were killed at the same time would there be an immediate presidential election?
7nadin3 [17]
No, this would not be necessary - what would happen is regulated by the presidential line of succession: the Speaker of the House, and if illegible (e.g. not born in the US) the President pro Tempore of the Senate would become the next president.
