Answer:

The correct answer is D. William McKinley was assassinated while in office.

Explanation:

William McKinley was the twenty-fifth president of the United States, and the last veteran of the Civil War who reached that position.

During the 1880s he was an important member of the Republican Party. As a congressman, he was responsible for the increase in import tariffs (McKinley Tariff), as a measure of prosperity. In his candidacy for the presidential elections of 1896 he promoted pluralism among ethnic groups. His campaign was designed by Mark Hanna, who introduced new advertising techniques that revolutionized political campaigns, and defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan. With his mandate began a period of republican domination, in which the commercial activity was promoted. The United States also became a world power after its victory in the Spanish-American War. This allowed McKinley to be elected president again in 1900 after another intense campaign also against Bryan. Regarding international politics, he supported the independence of Cuba; the war with Spain gave the United States control of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.

On September 6, 1901 he was shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. He died eight days later and became the third president killed in office, after Abraham Lincoln and James Abram Garfield. He was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt.

nignag [31]

Answer: A population to undergo natural selection must have a transmittable gene pool and high fecundity

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process by which species develop traits that make them adaptable to a certain environment and increase in reproduction rates.

There are various genes in our bodies. Some of these genes are located in our body cells and others, in our reproductive cells (present in eggs and sperm). The genes transmitted to offspring are present in reproductive cells therefore, for natural selection to occur, the genes which enable adaptability must be present in reproductive cells and passed down to offspring from generation to generation.

High fecundity or reproduction is important in natural selection as it increases the sustainability rate of the newly evolved genes enabling adaptation of the species to the environment.

Who are the “working poor” and how the pandemic impacted them in the US.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

“The working poor” are working people whose job does not bring them enough money. As these jobs are often considered essential, they are more likely to get ill at the time, and not have adequate medical care. In the time of the pandemic, they also can’t negotiate working conditions and wages and are forces by circumstances to work, risk their health and life, and be underpaid.

Explanation:

“The Working poor” are people who do have the job, but they are still poor as the work they perform doesn’t pay enough to cover rational life expenses. The work these people do is usually difficult, either manual, physical work, work with long hours and without a weekend or work in the various bad conditions.

During the pandemic, the need for work became high, while prices started rising. Many people become unemployed, but as they need to support themselves and their families, they will take on the underpaid job. In a time of global crisis, it is unlikely people will be able to negotiate for better wages and working conditions.

Additionally, “working poor” are often considered essential workers (working in retail, production, delivery, cleaning, etc). They can’t work at home and are in more immediate danger to get ill. Their jobs often don’t cover the adequate health insurance they need, they are unable to take a paid leave and therefore are in greater life danger.
