Answer:

In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes. The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.A popular argument on conservative websites and talk radio is that without the Electoral College, candidates would spend all their time campaigning in big cities and would ignore low-population areas.Electoral College will often defend the system by citing its original purpose: to provide a check on the public in case they make a poor choice for president.

How did the Mongolian conquest of Persia affect that region’s culture?
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is - B. The Mongolian conquest of Persia ended a golden age, which was a peak period of Islamic literature, philosophy, medicine, and art.

The Mongols conquered Persia and destroyed lot of cities, killed lot of people, and put end to the Islamic Caliphates, though it has to be said that the Mongols were actually provoked, and initially were not the ones that were seeking war.

By conquering the region, the Mongols put an end to the so called Islamic Golden Age, when the Islamic literature, philosophy, art, medicine, culture as a whole, was at its peak. Unfortunately, even after the Mongols left, the Muslim countries never got back to their glorious and forward thinking ways, and the reason for that is that some of the most influential Islamic scholars declared the math as a work of the devil, which pretty much cut all further development in the Middle Ages, and still has big negative effects in the present.
