Answer: William Jennings Bryan
Explanation:
William Jennings Bryan was a Nebraska politician who was nominated by his party, the Democratic party, to be their Presidential nominee in 1896 after he gave a rousing speech which today is known as the Cross of Gold speech in support of the bimetal/silver standard.
The standard called for the use of both gold and silver to back the American dollar as opposed to using just gold and was strongly supported by the lower and some middle class. The standard however would have brought high inflation as well as making it harder for the US to trade with other countries.
William Jennings lost the election and the US continued with the gold standard.
The correct answer is A. Marcus will win because she has the required number of electoral votes
Explanation:
In the U.S., the President is elected through the electoral college, which includes representatives of all states. In this context, the candidate needs to have at least 270 votes from the electoral college to be elected. Also, the candidate with more votes from the electoral college wins even if he/she has less popular votes or citizens votes than other candidates. This means in the case presented the winner is going to be Rosa Marcus because she obtained the necessary electoral votes to win (270 votes); while the candidate Torres obtained only 265, which are not enough votes to be elected even if he has more popular votes.
